Meanwhile, the Border Security Force (BSF) sought extra personnel to be deployed along the international border in Sabroom to prevent any untoward incident. The Bangladesh Border Force had also objected to the construction of a barbed wire fence in another place along the Indo-Bangka international border in North Tripura..
