In an unprecedented move, 27 members of the small Jahangir group surrendered to the Coast Guard in the Sundarbans this morning. The group handed over an arsenal that included foreign and local firearms, alongside a substantial number of ammunition rounds. This surrender represents a critical step in ongoing efforts to combat piracy in the world’s largest mangrove forest, a region plagued by criminal activity in recent years.
The Coast Guard’s zonal commander emphasized that this would be the last opportunity for criminals as the government implements a strict ‘zero tolerance’ policy against such activities. Special operations like ‘Restore Peace in Sundarbans’ aim to eliminate piracy and ensure local safety. This aligned approach comes after previous surrenders from other pirate factions, reinforcing the commitment to restoring order in the Sundarbans.
