Authorities in Kuakata, Patuakhali, launched a special operation on March 25, 2026, to control reckless motorcycle movement on the beach following a report in the daily Amar Desh highlighting tourist safety concerns and police inaction. The operation began around 4:30 p.m. and was led by Kuakata Municipality Administrator and Assistant Commissioner (Land) Yasin Sadek, with support from the Tourist Police.
During the drive, several motorcycles were seized for operating in tourist walking areas, and their keys were confiscated. Considering the tourism season, no fines were imposed, but the riders were warned and later had their keys returned. The administration also designated a specific zone for motorcycle use, warning that any violations outside this area would result in legal action.
Tourists and local residents expressed satisfaction with the initiative but urged that such monitoring be maintained permanently to ensure continued safety and order on the beach.
