&gt;Is this a border marker next to the yellow sign at the left side of the road?<br/>

 </span></blockquote>No, I believe it is a road distance marker. At the NW corner of Bangladesh <br/>
was a similar 2-sided stone with distances to Dhaka and the far SE point <br/>
(Teknaf) in Bengali script and numerals.<br/>
I seem to recall a similar stone also at Tin Bigha on the Bangladesh side.<br/>
