Shared festivity in river dividing India, Bangladesh
Boundaries were blurred in a river of faith and festivity on Tuesday as the symbolic undercurrents of the Kushiyara, the river that separates south Assam's Karimganj from Sylhet in Bangladesh, eased amid a joint chorus of Vijaya Dasami invocations to goddess Durga from either bank. Scores of idols were simultaneously immersed at Kalibari Ghat on the Karimganj side of the river and Jakiganj in Sylhet division under the vigil of BSF and Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB).
