SHILLONG: In a bizarre incident, four trucks carrying coal illegally forcibly tried to cross over to Bangladesh in South Garo Hills by breaking the border fencing in an attempt to transport coal to the neighbouring country.
A BSF official on Friday informed that the incident occurred on the night of April 13 night when a BSF patrol party detected the drivers of four coal-laden trucks (ML-09A-6128, AS-18C-5070, AS-01-EC-0612 & AS-01-EC-2043) attempting to break a gate on the border fence.
When the BSF personnel challenged them, the drivers fled towards the Bangladesh side leaving their trucks.
The BSF personnel seized the trucks and the coal lodged an FIR with the police.
