BGB alert over fresh Rohingya intrusion

Star Report
The Border Guard Bangladesh remains on alert since Saturday for a possible renewed Rohingya intrusion amid frequent clashes between Myanmar security forces and Buddhist rebels in Rakhine state.
The BGB has deployed additional force to patrol the country's 54km border with Myanmar fearing intrusion through the Naf river and other border areas, said Asaduzzaman Chowdhury, director of BGB battalion 2 in Teknaf.
"Fishing and other movement in the Naf river have been restricted and BGB remains cautious.... to prevent intrusion and also yaba smuggling,” he said.
Abdul Motaleb, chairman of Leda Rohingya Camp Development Committee in Teknaf, said a fresh exodus might take place if the ongoing conflicts in Myanmar affect Rohingyas.
In fact, a family of seven entered Bangladesh from Chindifrang of Bujidong on Thursday and took shelter at Kutupalong camp in Cox's Bazar.
The family is kept at the Kutupalong transit camp and will be taken to a temporary shelter camp, said Rezaul Karim, in-charge of the camp.
Meanwhile, 93 Rohingyas who came from India are also at the transit camp and will be taken to that temporary camp, he added.
On January 9, Aljazeera reported that frequent clashes between Myanmar security forces and Buddhist rebels in Rakhine state have alarmed thousands of Rohingya refugees living in no-man's-land on the country's border with Bangladesh, as concerns grow over the intensified fighting.
More than 730,000 members of the mostly Muslim minority have fled Myanmar to escape a brutal military-led crackdown that started in 2017 and have taken shelter in sprawling
Khurer Mukh temporary check post, saidTeknafs BGB battalion-2 Director Lt Col Md Asad-uz Zaman Chowhury, adding that no one was arrested.
The seized yaba pills have been kept at BGB Battalion headquarters. It will be destroyed later in presence of high officials, representatives of the Narcotics Control Directorate, local elites and media representatives, he said.
Earlier on Friday, former Awami League lawmaker of Cox's Bazar-4 Abdur Rahman Bodi ordered yaba traders at Teknaf and Ukhia upazilas to surrender within five days.
“If the enlisted yaba traders do not surrender within five days, they will face terrible consequences," he said at a programme in his Lama Bazar home in Teknaf on Friday evening, according to a UNB report.
"Those who are involved in yaba trading must communicate with me and I will help them surrender," he said, adding, "We, the people of Teknaf, will prove that we are free from the deadly impact of yaba."
Bodi's wife Shahin Akhter, incumbent lawmaker of the constituency, was also present at the programme.
"The yaba traders have to leave the country if they do not surrender," she said, adding, "The war against drugs will continue."
Last year, Bodi faced huge criticism for his alleged involvement in yaba trade following which the ruling AL nominated his wife Shahin Akhter over him for the constituency to contest the 11th national election.
The lawmaker's name had figured in at least three reports — one by the narcotics department, one by the BGB and one by a joint intelligence body formed to tackle the drug trade in Cox's Bazar-Tek4naf area.
Bodi's and several of his relatives' names, including Mong Mong, were also in a list prepared by the home ministry last year.
