The Dhaka Times Desk There is a tense situation on the border between Bangladesh and Myanmar. Meanwhile, the report of Burma Times said that Burmese United Armed Units of Burmese border guards are increasing their strength on the border. On May 30, the Burmese border guard force started to increase its strength on the border after three members of Myanmar were killed by a mortar shell of the BGB on the border.
In the report of The Burma Times, it is also said that the army there is planning to occupy the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh. In an interview given to Burma Times, a major in Yangon said that Myanmar is observing the movements of Bangladesh border guards through close monitoring. The Border Guard is preparing to retaliate if the Myanmar patrol team shows signs of advancing. The report also says that Yangon believes that Myanmar's army fleet is much larger than that of Bangladesh. Therefore, if Bangladesh takes any kind of action against Myanmar, the Myanmar Tatmadaw or Myanmar army members will proceed to occupy the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh.
According to the report, the Myanmar army is determined to capture the Chittagong Hill Tracts from Teknaf. Meanwhile, according to Napid sources, the Burmese United Armed Unit consists of the paramilitary, police, border guard, navy, army and police forces. Meanwhile, these forces are working to increase their strength at the West Gate Bangladesh-Myanmar border. Burmese United Armed Units are using local Rohingyas to augment their power in the West Gate. Rohingyas living in these places are wearing BUAU uniforms and increasing the number of patrols, besides these Rohingyas are being made to carry heavy weapons. This report also said that after handing over the body of the BGB member last Wednesday, the Burmese Border Police ambushed the BGB members, during which 4 members of the Burmese Border Police were killed in the exchange of fire. After 5 hours of fighting, the Burmese border police were finally forced to retreat.
The tension in the border area has not subsided yet. Locals living in these places have been evacuated to safe places. In addition, the increase in the strength of the Burmese border guard forces in the border area has spread more fear among the people. The Burmese military has not only strengthened the land border, but also increased the number of ships patrolling the sea border. Bangladesh Army and Border Guard are closely monitoring the Bangladesh border situation. Already, the number of BGB has been increased on the Bangladesh-Myanmar border. According to Bangladesh Navy sources, they are keeping a close eye on Myanmar's reinforcements on the border. Sources of Bangladesh Coast Guard and Bangladesh Navy also said that they have not yet received the truth about Myanmar's power increase in the waters but they are keeping a careful eye on this matter.
