The Border Security Force's (BSF) Maitri cycle rally, which started from the Paniter Border Outpost (BOP) near Basirhat in North 24 Parganas on January 10, reached the Fulbari Indo-Bangladesh border outpost on January 24.
The rally was welcomed by the BSF and Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) officers with their families along with the local villagers.
It was organised by 51st battalion of BSF in the memory of birth centenary of Bangabandhu.
Speaking to ANI, IG of North Bengal Frontier in BSF, Sunil Kumar said, "It started from South Bengal frontier and will cover a distance of 4,090 km."
Since August 5, the Petrapole border between India and Bangladesh has been under tight security with reduced movement of people and goods. The increased measures are in response to ongoing unrest in Bangladesh. Despite the overall decline in trade, the border has facilitated the entry of several Bangladeshis into India for medical treatment. The unrest has led to a near-total halt in trade, impacting traders significantly. Border Security Force (BSF) Director General DS Chaudhary has visited the site, and on Tuesday, some Bangladeshis and Indians stranded in each other's countries managed to return home.

In a swift response to the escalating unrest in Bangladesh, Meghalaya has imposed a night curfew along its international border, effective immediately from 6 pm to 6 am daily. This measure restricts movement within a 200-meter zone of the Indian side of the border to address potential security threats. With nine battalions of the Border Security Force (BSF) already deployed, the state government is prepared to send additional forces if necessary. Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong announced the curfew following a high-level meeting with key officials, including the DIG BSF and the Director General of Police. Covering a 444 km stretch of the border, the curfew reflects the state’s commitment to maintaining security and stability amid the turmoil across the border.
