The magnetic dredger was taken by the locals during the illicit sand extraction along the Meghna river bank in Raipura, Narsingdi district, Bangladesh, and they gave it to the police.

On Wednesday afternoon, the police received the confiscated dredger. In the Chanpur union of the Meghna river's Kalikapur village, villagers had earlier in the morning taken control of the dredger. Following notification from the local authorities, the dredger was seized.

Dredger's arrest was verified by Deputy Inspector of Police Arif Rabbani and Chairman of Chanpur UP Momen Sarkar.

According to the locals, several powerful dredger owners have been mining sand illegally at the Raipura border by ignoring the district administration's prohibition.

On the Meghna River's banks, sand was being illicitly removed on Wednesday morning using magnetic dredgers. Later, a few boats carrying locals captured the dredger. The dredger was confiscated after the administration and police were notified of the situation.

Despite the locals' objections, the dredger owners demonstrate their authority by taking illegal sand extraction from the Chanpur boundary while threatening legal action. The residents in this area are not able to live their usual lives as a result.

By accessing the Raipura upazila border with the Balumhal lease on the Nabinagar border of Brahmanbaria, a powerful gang is removing sand from the crops. River erosion is causing crops to vanish in five villages in Chanpur.

The worry of losing their homes is shared by many families. Sand is being hauled at night from the cornfield on the banks of the Meghna as it is impossible to lift it from the riverbed. There is no longer any cropland. Additionally, Basat Vita is in danger of being extinct. Locals frequently use tiny boats to pursue the dredgers. Illegal sand mining has continued even after that. The mining of sand needs to end.

"Illegal sand extraction is being carried out by an influential local gang," stated Momen Sarkar, Chairman of Chanpur UP. For the last four months, they have been mining sand in this manner. The Chanpur Union's agriculture is about to vanish.

On Wednesday morning, I received the news from the local police, who informed me that the people had taken a dredger and turned it over to them.
The dredger was taken in the afternoon and sent to the Upazila, the Voice7 News, who spoke with Arif Rabbani, the deputy inspector of the Raipura Police Station. He said we'll take the next steps.

Roslin Shahid Chowdhury, the Upazila Officer-in-Charge, stated, "I am seeking information as I am not familiar with the matter." The mobile court has already collected penalties on many occasions but to no avail. The police should file a lawsuit against the parties concerned.
