Amid tensions between India and Pakistan, Bangladesh army takes a big step, bans movement of…. is Myanmar going to be…

Amid the ongoing tension between India and Pakistan, the Bangladesh Army has issued a major order of barring the 10th Infantry Division of the Bangladesh Army from stepping out of the unit’s headquarters.

In an order issued by a Lieutenant Colonel posted at Ramu Cantonment, Commanding Officers (CO) and Deputy COs have been clearly told not to step out of the well-guarded premises without the permission of senior officers of Ramu or Cox’s Bazar Area Commander.

According to a report in Northeast News, the order comes at a time when the 10th Division is set to deliver logistics and supply support to support the military operation of ethnic rebel group Arakan Army against junta forces in Myanmar . Some of these supplies have already started arriving, which have been transported across the border through sealed containers. These containers are not even allowed to be checked by Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB).

The order states that from now on, no commanding officer or deputy commanding officer is allowed to step outside the boundary of Ramu station without prior permission of the GOC (General Office Commanding) and/or the Area Commander based in Cox’s Bazar. Similar orders have reportedly been issued by the Bangladesh Army for the 17th and 24th divisions. These two units are also to participate in the operation to assist the Arakan Army through logistics and supplies.

What is the reason behind the ban?

The order of April 28 does not give any reason behind this ban. However, sources say that the reason behind this could be to prevent any kind of information or military planning from leaking among the general public. Sources said that after the order it is clear that the CO and Deputy CO will issue verbal orders to restrict the activities of non-commissioned officers and other soldiers. At the same time, sources also say that sensitive equipment has been brought from a south-eastern country close to Myanmar, due to which the movement of officers has been banned.
