COX'S BAZAR NEWS
Cox's Bazar, Mar 17 Myanmar border security force, Nasaka, on Saturday denied troop gathering charges along the Bangladesh borders following the sea limits verdict that went in Bangladesh's favour.
"Nasaka has denied the troop gathering and said it is nothing but a sham media report," lieutenant colonel Zahid Hasan, commander of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) Teknaf battalion-42 told after a flag meeting with Nasaka.
UN maritime tribunal on Wednesday gave their verdict in favour of Bangladesh over sea limits dispute between the neighbouring countries.
Following media reports that Myanmar is gathering their troops on the Naikhangchharhi, Ukhia and Teknaf borders, BGB sent a letter to the Nasaka officials for a flag meeting to talk over the issue.
"When we asked Nasaka about Myanmer government's reaction to the verdict, they said their government is looking at it positively. Because they too were in confusion over the maritime boundary issue," Hasan said.
"The verdict has cleared everything," he added.
The Bangladesh border force commander said the Nasaka officials have assured cooperation to maintain a healthy relation between the neighbouring countries.
The meeting was held in Nasaka's Sector-6 office in Maungdaw. Zahid Hasan led an eight-member Bangladesh side while Nasaka's deputy commanders of sector-5 U D Min Thang and sector-6 Aung Thein Aung led the 10-strong Myanmar side.
