Imam orders to prevent smuggling of food grains in Myanmar
Food Adviser Ali Imam Majumdar today instructed the authorities concerned to be strict in preventing smuggling of food grains in Myanmar.
"There is a possibility of food crisis due to civil war in Myanmar Rakhine state. In this situation, law enforcement agencies including BGB must be strict in preventing the smuggling of food grains from Bangladesh," he said.
The adviser gave this order at a meeting on Strengthening Food Grain Smuggling Prevention System at Coxs Bazar Deputy Commissioner office.
After the meeting, Imam said if there is a food crisis, there will be a risk of some smuggling from Bangladesh.
"There was already a tendency to smuggle fertilizers and fuel oil here. Therefore, it has been decided to continue surveillance and strengthen it if necessary. So that there can be no smuggling under any circumstances," he added.
