BGB Deploys 36 Platoons Across Three Districts to Strengthen Industrial Zone Security

Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) has deployed 36 platoons across key areas of Dhaka, Gazipur and Narayanganj to strengthen security in industrial zones and maintain law and order.

BGB personnel have been placed on high alert to respond to any untoward incidents, including labour unrest, according to a statement issued by the force on Tuesday.

The statement said the deployed personnel are working in coordination with local administrations and police. Of the 36 platoons, 14 have been deployed in Savar and Ashulia of Dhaka district, three in Mirpur of the capital, nine in Narayanganj and 10 across various industrial areas of Gazipur.

In addition, two special patrol operations are underway in Narayanganj and surrounding areas. The BGB has also introduced a dedicated surveillance system to monitor developments across industrial zones and coordinate field-level operations.

As part of the initiative, the monitoring cell at BGB headquarters is continuously reviewing live video feeds collected through drones, body-worn cameras and other surveillance devices.

The BGB said patrol and surveillance activities would continue to maintain peace and order in industrial areas, protect workers and industrial establishments, and ensure the smooth movement of the public.
