Before pushing the victims back to India, the BDR authorities and local public representatives provided them with warm clothes as they were suffering from severe cold. They were also given food and medicine.

Meanwhile, the BDR side has increased its patrol along the northwestern frontiers to foil any further push-in bid by the BSF.
