“We also heard a hullabaloo in the Rohingya camp on the zero line at the time. The BGB is on high alert after the Myanmar mobilised additional troops on the border and asked the around 7,000 Rohingyas to leave the no man’s land on Tambru border on Thursday morning. The foreign ministry summoned the Myanmar ambassador in Dhaka in the afternoon and asked him to roll back the heavy military presence along the border. Ghumdhum union council chairman Md Zahangir Aziz Chowdhury told bdnews24.com the shooting by the Myanmar soldiers has triggered fresh concerns in the area. He alleged the Myanmar soldiers also tried to enter the Rohingya camp by crossing the barbed-wire fence.
