Cox’s Bazar-34 BGB commander Lt Col Ali Haider Azad Ahmed told the Daily Observer, “The paramilitary force is on alert although the military coup in Myanmar did not leave any impact on Bangladesh border and the situation is normal.”

Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi, President Win Myint
and other senior figures from the ruling party have been detained in a raid in early morning on Monday.

Later, the President’s Office declared a one-year state of emergency in Myanmar.
