Chapainawabganj: Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) recovered three one-shooter guns and six rounds of ammunition during a drive in Shibganj upazila. BGB-59 Battalion Commander Lieutenant Colonel Golam Kibria stated that the operation was carried out last night at the 183/4 S pillar area under the Chakpara border outpost, inside 25 yards of the border near the Pagla river.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Lt Col Kibria briefed reporters at his office today, revealing that the drive was launched based on secret information. The BGB director general has instructed personnel to remain on high alert as criminal groups are attempting to smuggle arms and ammunition ahead of the upcoming national elections in February.
Lt Col Kibria mentioned that special drives have been intensified across border areas as part of the force's zero-tolerance stance on smuggling of arms, drugs, and other illegal items.
