BGB Seizes 240 Bottles of Banned Syrup in Thakurgaon Border Operation

Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) has recovered 240 bottles of banned syrup during an overnight special operation in the border areas of Pirganj and Haripur in Thakurgaon. The seized syrup is valued at 72 thousand Taka, though no one was arrested in connection with the incident. The BGB commander confirmed this information to journalists on Tuesday afternoon.

Earlier on Monday night, members of Chanduria and Gobindpur BOPs under the Dinajpur Battalion (42 BGB) conducted these operations separately. Based on specific intelligence, the anti-smuggling operation was carried out throughout the night. Legal procedures regarding the seized goods are ongoing, and BGB's surveillance continues to identify those involved.

Lieutenant Colonel M M Jillur Rahman, commander of Dinajpur Battalion (42 BGB), stated that BGB's efforts to prevent border crimes are not limited to regular patrols, but also include intelligence-based planned operations. Strict action will be taken against all criminal activities to keep the border free from drugs and smuggling.
