In response to the ongoing law and order challenges, the government announced a nationwide coordinated search operation starting today, Sunday. Home Affairs Adviser Lt General (Retired) Md Jahangir Alam Chowdhury made the announcement after a high-level meeting at the Secretariat.

Speaking to reporters following the meeting, Jahangir emphasized that law enforcement agencies would intensify surveillance across the country to protect public safety.
