MALDA: A confrontation unfolded in Sukdebpur in Bakhrabad gram panchayat of Kaliachak 3, a border area of Malda district between India and Bangladesh, following tensions over the construction of a barbed wire fence on Monday afternoon.

The initiative, led by the Central government's Public Works Department in collaboration with the Border Security Force (BSF), aimed to bolster border security by erecting a barbed wire barrier along the boundary. However, the project faced immediate resistance from members of the Border Guard of Bangladesh (BGB), leading to a stand-off that quickly escalated.
