To ensure the overall security of industrial areas, 36 platoons of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) have been deployed in Dhaka, Gazipur, and Narayanganj. This initiative has been taken to ensure the safety of workers and industrial establishments, as well as to maintain a normal law and order situation.
This information was disclosed in a BGB press release on Tuesday (November 10).
According to BGB sources, among the deployed members, 14 platoons are operating in Savar and Ashulia areas of Dhaka district, 3 platoons in Mirpur, Dhaka, 9 platoons in Narayanganj, and 10 platoons in various industrial areas of Gazipur. Additionally, two special patrol operations are being conducted in Narayanganj and its surrounding areas.
A monitoring cell at BGB headquarters is conducting round-the-clock surveillance to closely observe the overall situation in industrial areas and coordinate field-level activities.
Live video footage obtained through drones, body-worn cameras, and improvised devices is being monitored for this purpose. This enables immediate collection of information regarding the field-level situation and prompts necessary action.
The BGB stated that patrol and surveillance activities are ongoing to maintain peace and order in industrial areas, ensure the security of workers and industrial establishments, and facilitate the unobstructed movement of the general public.
