A joint operation has been launched in the western Sundarbans of Satkhira to combat forest bandits. Beginning on Wednesday morning, April 8, the campaign involves coordinated efforts by the upazila administration, Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), Bangladesh Navy, Coast Guard, police, and the Forest Department. The forces are conducting searches across canals and remote forest areas, focusing on suspected hideouts of the bandits.
The operation follows recent incidents of forest workers being kidnapped and one being injured by gunfire from bandits. Authorities stated that the main objective is to ensure the safety of local forest workers and to completely eliminate bandit activity from the Sundarbans. Shyamnagar Upazila Assistant Commissioner (Land) Md. Rashed Hossain said the operation will continue until the forest is free of bandits and that coordinated law enforcement efforts aim to secure the area.
Local forest workers and residents have expressed relief over the operation and called for a permanently bandit-free Sundarbans.
