In the midst of fierce conflict between Myanmar military and the armed rebel group in Myanmar’s Rakhine, 29 members of Border Guard Police (BGP) took shelter again in Bangladesh on Monday, said BGB.
A total of 29 BGP members have taken refuge in Bangladesh from Angthapaya Camp of the BGP force through the border area of Bandarban's Jamchari union under Naikhongchhari BGB's Battalion 11, said Shariful Islam, public relations officer (PRO) of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB).
