"BSF is constantly in touch with Border Guard Bangladesh [BGB] over the current situation. As of now, the situation is normal at the border. Due to the curfew in Bangladesh, there are restrictions on traffic movement at Integrated Check Posts [ICPs] along the India-Bangladesh border," a senior BSF officer told ANI.
