The Bangladesh Coast Guard has initiated a joint operation to prevent artificial shortages and stabilize prices of essential commodities, including fuel and edible oil. The operation began at noon on April 8, 2026, in the outer anchorage of Chattogram, following intelligence reports that some unscrupulous traders were illegally hoarding goods on lighter vessels. Coast Guard media officer Lieutenant Commander Sabbir Alam Sujon confirmed the operation.
According to the Coast Guard, the operation is being conducted in coordination with the Bangladesh Navy, the Department of Shipping, and the Chattogram Port Authority. The initiative aims to ensure uninterrupted supply of essential goods and prevent manipulation of the market amid global fuel concerns. The Coast Guard has also intensified security and intelligence surveillance around the port and outer anchorage areas.
Authorities have instructed that no vessel carrying food, fuel, or edible oil may remain anchored for more than 72 hours. The Coast Guard will continue similar operations in the future to maintain market stability and protect public interest.
