Since the July revolution, drug traffickers have increasingly used the Gomati River in Comilla as a covert and cost-effective route to smuggle narcotics from India into Bangladesh. Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) frequently recovers sacks and bottles containing drugs floating in the river, marked with specific signs for easy identification. Local involvement aids traffickers in collecting shipments. Authorities are boosting patrols to curb the rising river-based smuggling, emphasizing cooperation between BGB, police, and political will to tackle this growing menace.
