On July 13, 2023, Dhrubasom Saha, a resident of border village Mangalbari, Malda, informed the Company Commander of Border Outpost Mahadipur, 70 Battalion under South Bengal Frontier, that his father Tapan Saha (62 years) had passed away. He further told that one of his father’s brother lives across the border in Bangladesh and he wanted to have the last glimpse of his brother. If BSF helps, his uncle and relatives can have the last glimpse of his deceased father.

Following BSF’s request, BGB also stepped forward keeping in mind the humanitarian approach. Therefore, in view of mutual cooperation, the border guarding forces of the two countries made arrangements for the deceased man’s brother and his relatives living in Bangladesh to pay their last respects at the Zero Line near the international border, keeping humanity paramount.
The relatives of the deceased expressed gratitude to the BSF
