To ensure overall security in industrial zones, 34 platoons of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) personnel have been deployed across three districts, including Dhaka. The development was confirmed through official sources on Saturday (November 14).

Deployment Details

The additional BGB patrol units will primarily work to strengthen the security of factories, economic zones, and related critical installations. While a specific list of the districts has not been officially published, it has been confirmed that Dhaka district is among them. The names of the other two districts could not be immediately verified.

Purpose of the Security Reinforcement

The decision is believed to have been made to avert any untoward incidents, such as labor unrest, theft, or robberies, and to ensure the uninterrupted operation of industrial activities. Stakeholders view this BGB deployment as a positive step for both industrial establishments and their employees.

Support for Law and Order

These BGB patrol teams will operate in coordination with the local police and industrial police. This is expected to further consolidate the law and order situation in the industrial areas and enable a swift response to any emergency. No official announcement has been made yet regarding the duration of this deployment.
