Tension mounts on Bangladesh-Myanmar border

DHAKA: Bangladesh has rushed more troops and stepped up diplomatic moves as tension continues to mount along its 300 km border with Myanmar over a fence being erected by Yangon.

Bangladesh also alleges that Myanmarese job-seekers mix with its work force and try to sneak into various Southeast Asian countries, spoiling its job market abroad, which was a major source of foreign exchange earning.
