DHAKA : A total of 36 platoons of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) have been deployed in various key areas of Dhaka, Gazipur and Narayanganj to strengthen security in industrial zones and maintain law and order amid concerns over possible unrest.
The BGB personnel are performing their duties in a state of heightened alert in coordination with local administrations and police, the force’s media department said on Tuesday.
According to the BGB, 14 platoons have been deployed in Savar and Ashulia in Dhaka district, three in the capital’s Mirpur area, nine in Narayanganj and 10 in different industrial zones of Gazipur. In addition, two special patrol operations are being conducted in Narayanganj and surrounding areas.
To closely monitor the overall situation in industrial areas and coordinate field-level operations, the BGB headquarters’ monitoring cell is keeping round-the-clock watch over live footage collected through drones, body-worn cameras and other surveillance devices.
