Thirteen individuals, including women and children, are stranded at the Indo-Bangladesh Zero Line after Bangladesh denied them entry and India refused re-entry. India’s efforts to deport illegal Bangladeshi immigrants have sparked diplomatic tensions, with Dhaka accusing New Delhi of violating sovereignty. While India claims over 100 deportations this year, Bangladeshi media alleges over 800 “push-ins” since May 7. Bangladesh’s BGB has blocked Indian attempts and requested a flag meeting. Anti-India sentiment has surged in post-Hasina Bangladesh, complicating cooperation. The standoff underscores worsening bilateral ties and highlights the challenges of managing illegal immigration across the porous 4,096-km border. (PC: PTI)
