Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) seized 27 Indian cattle from border areas under Bhurungamari upazila of the district yesterday.
A patrol team of BGB from Shaljhore border outpost (BoP) camp, led by Nayek Nazrul Islam, raided Shaljhore village and seized 19 Indian cattle inside 100 yards from the border when a cowboy was coming with the cattle around 7:30am, said sources of Kurigram 45 BGB Battalion.
The cowboy, however, managed to escape, sensing the presence of BGB men.
Another BGB team of Dhaldanga BoP, led by Nayek Abdul Hannan, raided Gopalpur village, one kilometre from the border, and seized eight Indian cattle from there at 12:05pm.
The 27 cattle worth around Tk 8.25 lakh will be auctioned in presence of local customs officials, BGB officials said.
