Indian and Bangladeshi border guards resumed heavy firing on Saturday after both countries failed to negotiate their dispute over the construction of river embankments along the frontier.
Firing intensifies at Indo-Bangla border
Fighting began early on Friday after both sides tried to stop each other from carrying out work on building river embankments along the Mahananda river that flows from India into Bangladesh.
In another incident in Bangladesh, nearly 400 small bomb blasts rattled Dhaka and other towns on Wednesday as a series of carefully timed attacks killed at least two and injured 140 people.
Police said the bombs, which went off almost simultaneously, were homemade and apparently designed to cause only limited damage.
