The Bangladesh Navy successfully intercepted a significant smuggling operation, seizing a large quantity of construction materials bound for Myanmar. A Navy warship seized two engine-powered boats carrying 1,700 sacks of cement from the Bay of Bengal near Saint Martin’s Island. Observing unusual movements, the naval vessel pursued and intercepted the boats, identified as “Ma-2” and “Nishan-2.”
Authorities discovered six suspected smugglers on board who were attempting to transport a massive shipment of "Diamond Extreme" cement. During the operation, 20 members of the smuggling syndicate were detained.
Following the operation, the seized cement and the detained individuals were handed over to Teknaf Police Station for further legal proceedings.
