The 177 members of Myanmar's Border Guard Police (BGP) who crossed the border into Bangladesh will be repatriated shortly, reports Daily Sun.
Director General of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) Major General Mohammad Ashrafuzzaman Siddiqui confirmed the matter while talking to the reporters at the BGB Monument at Ramgarh in Khagrachhari on Friday afternoon.
He said, “Process is going on to send the BGP members back to their homeland. We are hopeful of repatriating them soon. They will be returned how others have been sent back.”
The 177 members of the Myanmar BGP fled to Bangladesh amid the armed clash between the country's security forces and rebels.
The monument is a place where the Ramgarh Local Battalion was established in 1795, which was, with the passage of time, turned into BGB.
