New Delhi, June 12 -- The Border Guards Bangladesh (BGB) has placed armed village defence volunteers at more than a dozen spots across the international border in West Bengal and Tripura, BSF personnel on the ground said on Wednesday, the move coming amid mounting crackdown on undocumented immigrants from the neighbouring country and a policy of pushing back people suspected of dubious citizenship. Over the last week, Border Security Force(BSF) personnel at different locations in West Bengal and Tripura reported multiple sightings of Bangladeshi villagers assisting BGB personnel on their side of the border and keeping an eye on the fencing work that has started in nine different districts of West Bengal. BSF personnel reported these sightings primarily in Bangladesh's border districts such as Chapainawabganj, Thakurgaon and Dinajpur, which share a border with Bengal, mid-level BSF officials aware of the matter said. BSF officials confirmed that at more than a dozen locations across Bangladesh's above-mentioned districts, the Bangladesh home ministry has also deployed personnel from Bangladesh Ansar and the Village Defence Party. BSF personnel on the ground have reported to their seniors the sightings of these armed village volunteers and paramilitary forces personnel on Bangladesh's border village. "Local villagers in both West Bengal and Tripura along with BSF personnel on ground have spotted armed villagers who are doubling up as volunteers for the BGB. The villagers on our side of the border were told by the Bangladesh citizens across the border that training was held by the BGB before they were deployed. This is due to the crackdown on infiltrators, which has also led to hundreds of Bangladeshi citizens voluntarily trying to flee back to Bangladesh. The BGB has trained villagers to guard the border round-the-clock in different shifts and ensure that even their citizens do not enter their country back illegally," a BSF officer, who asked not to be named, said....
