Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) has strengthened monitoring and operations along the Lalmonirhat border to prevent fuel hoarding and smuggling. The Teesta Battalion (61 BGB) and Lalmonirhat Battalion (15 BGB) have launched extensive activities, particularly in the Hatibandha and Patgram border areas. Temporary checkpoints have been set up at key points to maintain normal fuel supply amid the current global situation, while filling stations and dealers near the border are under close observation.

BGB has also increased mobile patrols, random vehicle searches, and surveillance on major transport routes. Intelligence activities have been intensified to identify possible syndicate members involved in fuel smuggling. Awareness meetings are being held with local residents to highlight the harmful effects of illegal fuel storage and smuggling and to encourage community cooperation.

According to the commanding officer of Lalmonirhat Battalion (15 BGB), the force remains uncompromising in protecting borders, combating smuggling, and preventing human trafficking. Measures have also been taken to ensure the security of fuel depots and maintain uninterrupted fuel supply from depots to filling stations.
