Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) seized Indian Sun Max luxury fabrics and Benarasi saris smuggled through the Matifata border area of Sreebardi upazila in Sherpur. Acting on a tip-off, members of the Mymensingh Battalion (39 BGB) from the Kornjhora Border Outpost conducted an overnight operation on Saturday and recovered the goods. The seized items, including an easy bike used for transport, have an estimated market value of about Tk 13,62,800. The BGB confirmed the seizure in a press release issued on Saturday afternoon.

According to the report, smugglers attempted to bring Indian goods through the Kornjhora BOP area using innovative methods. When they realized the presence of BGB personnel, the smugglers fled, leaving behind the contraband and the vehicle. Lieutenant Colonel Md. Nurul Azim Baizid, commander of the 39 BGB Battalion, stated that BGB members remain vigilant around the clock to protect the international border and prevent illegal activities.

He added that BGB maintains a strict policy against smuggling, drug trafficking, and illegal crossings, and this vigilance will continue in the future.
