Agartala: August 08: The Border Security Force (BSF) has successfully repatriated 17 Indian workers who were stranded in Bangladesh. These workers were employed by Afcons Infrastructure Private Limited, which is involved in constructing a four-lane road from Akhaura to Kishoreganj, spanning 53 kilometers.
According to a statement issued by the BSF today, Inspector General of BSF Tripura Frontier, S Patel Piyush Purushottam Das, received a request yesterday evening to assist the workers in returning to India. The workers were stranded at their camp in Ramrail, Bangladesh, due to ongoing unrest in the country.
In response, the BSF immediately coordinated with the nodal officers of both the BSF and the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB). In a well-coordinated operation, the BGB provided assistance to the 17 employees, ensuring their safe passage to the Integrated Check Post (ICP). After obtaining customs and immigration clearances late at night, the workers were successfully repatriated to India.
