Reminding the responsibility of the Border Guard Bangladesh, home adviser lieutenant general (retired) Jahangir Alam Chowdhury said that the force would have to be strong and fearless to protect every inch of the border and stop smuggling.
He made the remark while speaking at the 鈥楤GB Day-2024鈥� at the border conference centre of the BGB in Dhaka鈥檚 Pilkhana on Monday.
Urging the BGB personnel to carry out duty as vigilant guard, the adviser said that the frontier force had 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.

The adviser also said that the success of a well-disciplined force depended on truthfulness and establishing a chain of command at every level.
BGB director general Mohammad Ashrafuzzaman Siddiqui delivered the welcome speech at the event, among others, attended by chief adviser鈥檚 special assistant Md Khuda Baksh Chowdhury and the ministry of home鈥檚 public security division secretary Nasim Ahmed.
