The Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) has initiated surveillance at fuel stations and depots in Rajshahi to prevent illegal hoarding and smuggling of fuel amid the country’s ongoing energy crisis. Starting Sunday, the Rajshahi-1 Battalion increased monitoring at 12 petrol pumps located in border areas. The announcement was made by Lieutenant Colonel Riaz Shahriar, commanding officer of the battalion, during a press briefing in front of the Jamuna Oil Depot at Shiroil Colony in Rajshahi city.
According to the BGB official, Rajshahi has three oil depots operated by Padma, Meghna, and Jamuna, along with 12 filling stations. Checkposts have been set up and search operations launched at these sites, including enhanced surveillance in the Padma River’s border areas to stop smuggling into India. Three platoons of BGB have been deployed to secure the depots and ensure uninterrupted fuel supply.
BGB stated that due to higher fuel prices in India, some groups have been attempting to hoard and smuggle fuel for profit. The force is also cooperating with local administration and other law enforcement agencies to maintain security during the crisis.
