Posting timing
This account posts most often around 06:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 100% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 0% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 100% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 0% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
- Its average post runs 518 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

BSF RESCUES 10 BANGLADESHI NATIONALS FROM DROWNING IN RIVER GANGA In a swift and courageous rescue operation, alert troops of 71 Battalion BSF, Malda Sector, saved the lives of 10 Bangladeshi nationals, including three children, three women and four men, after their boat capsized in the strong currents of the River Ganga. Among those rescued was a 30-day-old infant in critical condition, who was provided immediate first aid and rushed to the nearest government hospital. The infant is now reported to be stable and in normal condition. The incident occurred on the evening of 12 September 2026, when BSF personnel deployed near Border out Post Khandua noticed several persons struggling in the strong river current and at risk of drowning. Sensing the gravity of the situation, the troops immediately launched a rescue operation and rushed to the spot in a speed boat. After sustained and determined rescue efforts, BSF personnel successfully rescued all 10 persons from the river and brought them to safety. The rescued persons told BSF that they are residents of Joharpur village, Bangladesh, and were travelling from Chapai Nawabganj to Joharpur. While crossing the Padma (Ganga) River, their boat suddenly capsized, throwing all the occupants into the river. Owing to the strong current, they were swept towards the Indian side. BSF safely handed over all 10 Bangladeshi nationals to the troops of 53 Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) after completion of all necessary formalities.
