Padua/Pyrdiwah-Boraibari Border Clash

April 2001 Bangladesh-India frontier fighting and rapid de-escalation.

In April 2001, armed clashes broke out along sections of the Bangladesh-India border, centered first on the disputed Padua/Pyrdiwah area and then around Boraibari. The fighting between Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) and India's Border Security Force (BSF) caused military casualties on both sides and triggered urgent ceasefire diplomacy.
