A total of 33 Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) platoons have been deployed across the industrial zones of Dhaka, Gazipur, and Narayanganj to bolster security and maintain public order. The strategic deployment comes as part of efforts to ensure a stable environment in and around key industrial and commercial hubs.
Strategic positions in Narayanganj
The deployment in Narayanganj has been carefully distributed across several critical points. Two platoons each have been stationed at Shibu Market-Katherpul and Jalkuri, while one platoon each is now positioned at the BSCIC Industrial Estate, Chashara intersection, and the Kanchpur Bridge-Shimrail area.These locations were selected to cover major marketplaces, industrial estates, and vital transport corridors. The presence of BGB personnel is intended to act as a deterrent against any potential disruption, particularly in areas with a high concentration of factories and worker activity.
Heightened security across industrial belts
Similar security measures have been reinforced in the industrial areas of Dhaka and Gazipur. The 33 platoons are conducting patrols and manning checkpoints at various industrial facilities, commercial zones, and key road and bridge points.Local police and other law enforcement agencies are reportedly working in coordination with the BGB. Authorities have indicated that these joint security efforts will continue to prevent any untoward incidents and ensure the safety of industrial operations across the region.
