Stay alert to avert 2009 like incident

PM asks BGB members

UNB, Dhaka
Calling for vigilance to avert any incident like that of 2009 BDR massacre, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday asked the members of the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) to convey her immediately in case of any problem.
"If there's any problem, let us know immediately, we'll solve the problem ... we don't want to see any heartrending incident in any disciplined force that happened here,” she said.
The prime minister was speaking at a function at BGB's Peelkhana headquarters in the city marking the BGB Day 2014.
After her inaugural speech at the Darbar, Hasina invited the BGB personnel to say about their problems, if any. "I want questions from you; if you have anything to say, please tell."
The prime minister also appreciated the brave role of the BGB in foiling the plot to stop the January 5 parliamentary elections. 'You resisted with an iron hand the evil plot of BNP-Jamaat-Shibir to create anarchy in the country aiming to foil the 10th general election,' she said.
The premier said the present government is in power just to serve people.
"You're the citizens of the country, it's our duty to look after you, too, * she told the BDR personnel.
She also stressed the need for maintaining mutual respect and honour among members of the BGB saying discipline, humanity, respect and honour to seniors and above all mutual sympathy can only strengthen the force.
Hasina expressed firm optimism that the BGB will one day become a world standard peacekeeping force saying they should not do anything that could damage the country's image.
Recalling the tragic BDR mutiny incident, Sheikh Hasina said her government has completed the reforms of the force within the shortest time and brought those committed the crimes to justice.
Among many other steps, nearly
20,000 additional troops have been recruited since 2009 following the new organisational structure, said the PM.
Terming BGB as "ever-vigilant sentinels of the border', Sheikh Hasina said her government has increased its strength to make the force more capable in safeguarding the country's land boundaries.
Talking about 479-kilometer long porous border with India, the Prime Minister said her government already approved two sectors, five battalions and 92 BOPs for the BGB. Most of the projects have already been implemented, she said.
With full implementation of the projects, the entire Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) would be much more protected, she added.
Later, the prime minister responded to a number of questions raised by the members of the BGB attending the Darbar.
BGB Director General Major General Aziz Ahmed delivered the welcome address at the Darbar attended by ministers, sate ministers, MPs, diplomats and high civil and military officials.
