Home Affairs Adviser Lieutenant General (retd) Jahangir Alam Chowdhury has said that the country's borders are fully secure and measures are being implemented to enhance border security.

"Even if blood is shed, the border will remain secure," the adviser said today (19 January).

He was speaking at the certificate distribution and closing ceremony of the 137th Survey and Settlement Training Course, 2024-25, for officers from various sectors on Sunday, the adviser stressed that the security of the border remains a top priority.

Officers from the BCS cadre (Administration, Police, Forest, and Railway) and the Bangladesh Judicial Service attended the course.

The adviser highlighted that border security has significantly improved under the current administration.

"The public is now on our side. Previously, no measures were taken to secure the border. Now, steps are being taken, which is why problems are arising," Jahangir Alam said, adding that while there are issues at the border, the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) is consistently on high alert.

"Though problems may occur, no one from the other side will be able to cross," Chowdhury said, reaffirming that the situation is under control.

He also mentioned that the recent incident along the Chapainawabganj border, which was triggered by a dispute over cutting paddy and trees, was resolved peacefully through dialogue between the BGB and the Border Security Force (BSF) of India.

On the corruption issue, the adviser mentioned its detrimental impact on the country's progress. "If corruption is not reduced, it will be impossible for the country to advance."

Jahangir Alam pointed out that civil servants often show reluctance in providing services when there is no fear of losing their positions, attributing this to the lack of discipline and political influence among the cadres.
