Following the large-scale plundering at Sadapathor, illegal stone extraction has now spread to Jaflong in Sylhet — not only during the day but also under the cover of night. Large boulders have already been removed from the Zero Point area, damaging both the beauty of the tourist hotspot and the environment. Visitors have expressed outrage, while authorities claim patrols have been increased to curb the theft. Sadapathor itself has been left almost barren due to open looting.
