The BGB has captured the Chaikhyangpara camp of the terrorist group Kuki-Chin National Front (KNF) in the remote hills of Bandarban. Huge ammunition and arms have been seized from here. The BGB will set up five BOPs (Border Observation Posts) across a large area of the remote mountainous border. It will protect the mountain border.
BGB Director General Major General AKM Nazmul Hasan gave this information in response to a question in the exchange meeting with journalists after the 53rd border conference of BGB-BSF director general level at BGB headquarters on Thursday afternoon. He said, BGB took any BOP in the hilly border. That is why members of the extremist organization Kuki-Chin National Front (KNF) can travel freely through those areas. The BGB will set up five BOPs to prevent the KNF from returning through the border area after they have moved away.
Major General AKM Nazmul Hasan said, ‘I have planned the operation how the place will be protected after the KNF is freed from the mountain. Besides, BGB did not have BOP in those areas which are inaccessible. I have planned to make five BOPs of BGB from Chaikshyangpara to Dopanichhra. We have already made Chaikshyongpara KNF free. Currently, BGB is stationed there. Later, the unprotected areas should be adequately protected.’ Major General Nazmul Hasan added that BGB has taken necessary steps to ensure that no Kuki-China can enter or leave the border area of the country.
In response to a question about the return of KNF chief Nathan Bam from India, the BGB director general said, ‘It is a matter of discussion at the highest level of the government. There was no discussion with BSF regarding the transfer of Nathan Bam.’
The weapons used by the KNF come from India or Myanmar. When asked about non-entry of arms, BGB Director General said, ‘We have informed the BSF about the information we had. They have also been told and assured by the BSF that the BSF should also seal their borders.
Major General AKM Nazmul Hasan also said, ‘BGB is carrying out peacekeeping duties in the Chittagong Hill Tracts along with the Bangladesh Army. Joint operation with army against KNF. BGB has already occupied a KNF camp. A number of firearms, KNF uniforms and handguns have been recovered from that camp.
BGB plans to procure drones in future.

Home affairs advisor Brig Gen (retd) M Shakhawat Hossain has urged the members of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) to discharge their duties diligently and refrain from showing back at the border in any cases.
While speaking to the media at the BGB headquarters in Dhaka, he recalled that even in cases of trespassing into Bangladesh and subsequent killings, everything would have been settled through a flag meeting.
“A force like the BGB was instructed to show its back at the border. Our people were killed at the border, and the BGB was forced to hold flag meetings. I have asked them not to show their back at the brother, enough is enough,” he said.
The home advisor went to the BGB hospital at Pilkhana in the afternoon on Tuesday, to see the BGB men who suffered injuries during the quota reform protests. Later, he faced the media and responded to various queries.
The Indian Border Security Force (BSF) reportedly shot down a Bangladeshi national on the other side of the Shibganj border in Chapainawabganj on Sunday.
M Shakhawat Hossain said, “They enter our territory and kill our people. We hold flag meetings and say everything is settled, or say we have no idea over the issue. Those days are over".
Blaming the previous government for exploiting the forces, he said, "They turned these forces into monsters. Those responsible for it will be taken to the international court. They have killed many people and destroyed all the institutions. These are national forces, and do not belong to any individual."

Based on an intelligence report, it was revealed that a group of hilly insurgents had allegedly established a hideout deep in the jungles of the remote Dopanichhara area near the border of Ruma upazila of Bandarban.
Promoted by it, a special operation was conducted by the BGB's Ruma Battalion (9 BGB), led by Lt Col Hasibul Haque. The operation took place some 5.5 kilometres southeast of the border.
During the operation, the BGB discovered a variety of advanced technology equipment and weapons at the alleged insurgents' hideout.
The items included two automatic carbine assault rifles, one semi-automatic assault rifle, three submachine guns, 21 rounds of live ammunition, one advanced drone, one advanced signal jammer, one audio or video recorder, one video camera, one tech-based button camera for intelligence gathering, one hidden video recorder device, one binocular, two walkie-talkies, one laptop, two powerful lights, one solar system, one satellite TV receiver, one umbrella, two Android phones, two feature phones, various sharp local weapons, Bangladeshi liquor, one helmet, and cooking materials.

The government has sent a proposal to form a national independent commission to uncover the true reasons behind the Pilkhana massacre, the state counsel informed the High Court today (2 December).
The bench, led by Justice Farah Mahbub, was apprised that the proposal for the commission is currently under review at the Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs.
Expressing dissatisfaction over the progress in forming the commission, the court directed the state counsel to provide comprehensive details about the commission at the next hearing.
Deputy Attorney General Tanim Khan and Assistant Attorney General Mujahidul Islam Shahin represented the state during the proceedings.
The commission's formation follows a public interest litigation filed by Supreme Court lawyers Md Tanvir Ahmed and Biplob Kumar Poddar, who had earlier sent legal notices to relevant authorities but received no response.
On 6 November, the High Court directed the Home Ministry to resolve the petitioners' application regarding the commission within 10 days.
The court also issued a rule asking why the failure to form the commission should not be declared illegal and beyond lawful authority, and why an order should not be issued to establish the commission.
Additionally, the court inquired why 25 February should not be declared as "Martyred Army Officers Day."
The Pilkhana massacre occurred on 25 February 2009, at the Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) headquarters in Dhaka, during which 57 army officers were killed.
