Home Adviser Lt. Gen (retd) Md Jahangir Alam has vowed to prevent laxity at borders and said the BDR carnage will be reinvestigated and it’s a must.

“Investigation team will be formed very soon,” he said responding to a question from reporters after visiting the headquarters of the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) in Pilkhana on Monday morning.

He said, “Stern action will be taken to prevent smuggling with a view to maintaining national interest.” The home adviser said the law and order situation in the country has improved slightly but it isn’t satisfactory yet and more improvement is needed.

“You know the government has changed almost all the police members in Dhaka. The new police personnel will take time to know alleys, and lanes and make a network,” he added.

He reaffirmed that the criminals won’t be spared, no matter how powerful they are though many influential criminals had been spared earlier.

Regarding the BGB, he suggested the frontier battalion to maintain cordial relationship with people who could help them in several ways.

About the influx of drugs, he strictly instructed the BGB personnel to strengthen vigilance to check the smuggling of the phensedyls and other drugs through borders.
