BGB vs BSF

Padua/Pyrdiwah Incident:
On 16 April 2001, around 800 to 1000 Bangladeshi paramilitary soldiers attacked and captured the village of Padua/Pyrdiwah, breaking the status quo. The village had been allegedly occupied by India since Bangladesh’s War of Independence in 1971.
The Indian BSF post in Padua/Pyrdiwah was encircled, trapping 31 BSF troops. However, both sides held their fire and began negotiations, resolving the situation without bloodshed.
Boraibari Ambush:
A few days later, a small contingent of 300 BSF troops entered Bangladeshi territory near the village of Boraibari, more than 200 km west of Padua/Pyrdiwah.
Bangladeshi border guards ambushed the Indian BSF paramilitary company, assisted by hundreds of villagers.
Sixteen Indian soldiers were killed during this incident, and their bodies were returned to India on 20 April 2001.
The clashes finally ended on 21 April 2001 after both sides agreed to a ceasefire.
Impact:
The clashes were a major setback to the improving relations between India and Bangladesh.
Prior to the clashes, the two countries had signed agreements, including the 2015 Land Boundary Agreement, which facilitated the exchange of enclaves between them1.
In more recent incidents, there have been casualties along the border as well. For instance, in 2008, two Bangladeshi border guards were killed by the BSF, and in 2021, there were further incidents involving the BGB (Border Guards Bangladesh) and BSF23. The border situation remains sensitive, emphasizing the importance of maintaining peaceful relations and effective communication between the two nations.
