Sylhet Deputy Commissioner (DC) Sarwar Alam announced that authorities have so far seized nearly 2.6 million cubic feet of stone in ongoing drives against illegal stone looting. He confirmed that from Wednesday, a strict operation will begin to recover the remaining looted stones. On Tuesday, after the district’s three-day ultimatum for traders to return looted stones expired, DC Sarwar Alam, accompanied by the Superintendent of Police, visited the Sadapathor area. He reported that out of the seized amount, traders themselves returned around 600,000 cubic feet of stone, while authorities confiscated an additional 1.9 million cubic feet during raids. Among the recovered stones, 1.2 million cubic feet have already been reinstated in the Sadapathor area.
