The government is thinking of returning Myanmar soldiers, who fled Bangladesh amid ongoing conflict between the ethnic Arakan Army and Myanmar troops, by waterway.
A press release of the foreign ministry said on Tuesday.
Earlier in the day, the foreign ministry summoned Myanmar Ambassador to Bangladesh, Aung Kyaw Moe and issued a strong protest against Myanmar’s provocative actions that have escalated tensions to a war-like situation on the Bangladesh-Myanmar border.
As many as 264 Myanmar nationals, including army personnel, Border Guard Police (BGP) members and civilians, fled Bangladesh on Tuesday.
They also sought shelter amid the ongoing conflict between the ethnic Arakan Army and Myanmar troops along the international border.
With the fresh arrival, the number of Myanmar nationals, which included mostly the BGP members, has risen to 264.
Earlier, 115 BGP personnel fled to Bangladesh in groups and took shelter.
