The Bangladesh Coast Guard detained six alleged smugglers along with 550 sacks of cement intended for smuggling into Myanmar. The operation was conducted on Saturday near Noachiri, off the coast of Maheshkhali in Cox’s Bazar, by the Coast Guard’s Matarbari station. Two boats used in the smuggling attempt were also seized during the operation.
According to Coast Guard media officer Lieutenant Commander Suman Al Mukit, the raid was carried out based on a tip-off. The cement, valued at approximately 275,000 taka, was being transferred illegally from a cargo boat to a fishing boat when intercepted. The seized goods, boats, and detained individuals are currently under legal processing.
Lieutenant Commander Mukit stated that such anti-smuggling operations will continue in the future to curb illegal trade along the coastal areas.
