No JMB activities in our country: Bangla DCs

SILCHAR: Senior officials of Bangladesh government on Friday claimed Bangladesh and Sylhet division of the county bordering India, in particular, is free from terror activities triggered by Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) men.
“No activity of JMB has been reported from any part of the country over the months. The Sylhet division bordering the Indian state of Assam is free from JMB militants,” said Mohammad Sahidul Islam and Mohammad Kamrul Hasan, deputy commissioners of Bangladesh’s Sylhet and Moulvi Bazaar districts respectively.
At present, NDFB(S), Ulfa or any other Indian militant outfit do not have any hideout inside Bangladeshi territory. Addressing a press conference at the circuit house here, the DCs said the present government in Dhaka has taken tough action against the outfit and so it will not raise its head again in any part of the country. The DCs denied reports that the minorities in Bangladesh are often being subjected to harassment. They said people belonging to the minority community in Bangladesh are safe. “Minorities, including the Hindus, are living happily in Bangladesh”, both of them said.
Bangladesh is eager to improve railway connectivity between Assam’s Mahisashan station and Sahbazpur station in Bangladesh. Hasan said while India is working to upgrade the Karimganj-Mahisashan rail route to broad gauge, Bangladesh government has started work to improve the other stretches of the rail route within its territory.
The DCs were here to attend a joint border conference with their Indian counterparts in Silchar on Thursday.
