India, Bangladesh farmers clash over ‘stolen crop’, ‘cutting of mango trees’

Farmers from India and Bangladesh clashed at the Malda border over allegations of theft and trespassing on Saturday, escalating into a violent confrontation. The BSF and BGB intervened to restore order. The enclave’s geography complicates fencing, leading to unintentional border crossings. Officials plan to meet village heads to prevent future incidents, and additional BSF personnel have been deployed.
