A specialized team from the Bangladesh Army successfully neutralized seven landmines discovered in a maize field at Makhaldanga Schoolpara in Chuadanga Sadar upazila. The disposal operation began at 11 a.m. on Saturday and concluded around 1:30 p.m. The landmines had been detected earlier on February 28 in the same agricultural area.

The bomb disposal team, consisting of 15 members from the 55 Regiment of Jessore Cantonment, was led by Captain Md. Selim and Captain Md. Rifat. They first defused four landmines and later three more, causing loud explosions that shook the surrounding area. Ash and dust from the explosives spread across the field during the operation.

Officials from the district administration, including Executive Magistrate Mirza Shahidul, Additional Superintendent of Police (Sadar Circle) Mostafizur Rahman, the Officer-in-Charge of Sadar Police Station Mizanur Rahman, and teams from the Fire Service and Chuadanga District Police, were present at the site during the operation.
