Reminding the responsibility of the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGBB), Home Affairs Adviser Lt. Gen (retd) Jahangir Alam Chowdhury has said that this force will have to be strong and fearless to protect every inch of the border and stop smuggling. He made the remark while speaking at the ‘BGB Day-2024’ at the Border Conference Centre of the BGB in Dhaka’s Pilkhana on Monday. Urging the BGB personnel to carry out duty as vigilant guard, he said the frontier force has been performing several duties, including maintaining law and order inside the country, assisting the civil administration, accidents, natural disasters and emergency along with guarding the borders. Recalling the role of the then BDR during the Liberation War, he said the BGB is a disciplined force with the glory of valor and tradition and their patriotism, honesty and unwavering morale are the biggest tolls in severing the country.
