Members of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) arrested a suspected Hundi trader along with ‘hundi money’ amounting to Tk 9 lakh from the border area in Sharsha upazila of Jashore district on Sunday night.

Thousands of people in Sharsha upazila have been suffering for years as a dysfunctional sluice-gate keeps a vast swathe of land inundated for nine months a year.
