Bangladesh sends back 288 Myanmar security personnel
Bangladesh has sent 288 Myanmar military and Border Guard Police (BGP) personnel who fled across the border amid fighting with armed rebels back to their home country.
Under tight security, at 7 am on Thursday, they boarded a tugboat at Cox’s Bazar’s Nuniachhara jetty managed by the Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority (BIWTA).
This boat then transported them to the deep sea, where they were handed over to the awaiting Myanmar Navy vessel Chin Dwin, as reported by Cox’s Bazar Additional District Executive Magistrate, Md Yamin Hossian.
Before the repatriation, Myanmar authorities meticulously verified the identities and documents of all returnees.
This marks the second instance of repatriation of Myanmar personnel back to their country in recent times. Previously, on February 16, 330 officials, including members of the Border Guard Police, army, and customs officials, were returned to Myanmar under stringent security protocols.
