Bangladesh: The Bangladesh Coast Guard has detained 22 people and seized three cargo boats carrying a large quantity of cement allegedly being smuggled to Myanmar. During a search, officials recovered 2400 bags of Diamond Cement in the boats, along with fertiliser. The seized goods are estimated to be worth around US$11,356. According to local press, seizure of the same cement brand in recent anti-smuggling operations has raised questions among observers and called for increased scrutiny.
