The members of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) have been deployed in parts of Bangladesh, including Dhaka, Chittagong, Bogra, and Rajshahi.
The elite security forces are deployed to bring the law-and-order situation under control as quota reform protesters and Chhatra League men clashed across the country.
BGB's Public Relations Officer Shariful Islam confirmed the information on Tuesday afternoon.
He said: “BGB has been deployed in Dhaka, Chittagong, Bogra, and Rajshahi to maintain law and order amid the ongoing quota reform movement.”
At least 5 people have been killed across Bangladesh amid the ongoing movement. Hundreds of students are reportedly injured as well.
In Chittagong, three BGB platoons were deployed in Chittagong.
