Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) members sent back 37 Rohingyas, including children, when they tried to enter Bangladeshi territory from Myanmar by crossing the Naf River in Teknaf, Cox's Bazar last night (12 October).

The incident happened at around 9pm yesterday at the Keruntoli border point under Sadar union in Teknaf, said Lt Col Mohiuddin Ahmed, the commander of BGB's Teknaf-based 2nd Battalion.

Among the Rohingyas, 19 were children, 11 were women and eight were men, he said.

Mohiuddin said the Rohingyas crossed the zero point on the Naf River on several boats. When the boats reached the shore on this side, BGB members, who were on regular patrol, stopped them and sent them back.

He reiterated that BGB was on high alert to prevent any intrusion through the border.
