Home Affairs Adviser Lt Gen (Retd) Jahangir Alam Chowdhury, has asserted that no security personnel will be exempt from accountability if found negligent in maintaining law and order.

A joint operation aimed at curbing theft, robbery, and mugging commenced on Monday night.
Addressing the initiative, the adviser remarked, "If we detect any negligence on the part of any member of any security force, they will not be spared.
The operation has been structured meticulously, and should any official or force member exhibit negligence, they will be brought under the purview of the law."
