Prime minister Sheikh Hasina on Tuesday called upon members of Border Guard Bangladesh to carry out their assigned responsibilities with utmost sincerity and not to break discipline under any circumstance.

On her arrival at the venue, the PM was received by home minister Asaduzzaman Khan, senior secretary of Public Security Division Aminul Islam Khan and BGB director general Major General Shakil Ahmed.
