India, Jan. 31 -- The Border Security Force (BSF) on Friday stopped the Border Guards Bangladesh (BGB) from constructing an illegal bunker at a location along the Indo-Bangladesh border in north Bengal, police said.

"On January 31, the BGB was constructing a sentry post bunker in the Dahagram Angarpota area of the north Bengal frontier, within 150 yards of the international border, before the BSF intervened," a senior BSF officer said.

The BSF also stopped locals from constructing another structure (possibly a house), also within 150 metres of the border fence.

The officer added that the BSF has called for a flag meeting at the commandant level with the BGB due to illegal construction by Bangladesh at different points along the border....
