A total of 34 platoons of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) have been deployed across key industrial areas in Dhaka, Gazipur and Narayanganj on Saturday to maintain law and order, ensure security and prevent any untoward incidents.
The BGB personnel have been deployed in several strategic locations, including Savar, Ashulia, Hemayetpur, Jirani and Jamgara in Dhaka district; Shibu Market, Katherpul, Jalkuri, BSCIC Industrial Estate, Chashara, Kanchpur and Shimrail in Narayanganj; and Chandra, Palli Bidyut, Mouchak, Ambag Kata, Bhogra Bypass, Gacha, Salna, Naojor and Kashimpur in Gazipur.
The deployed personnel are working in coordination with the local administration and other law enforcement agencies and remain on high alert to respond to any emerging situation.
Meanwhile, BGB headquarters has activated a monitoring cell to oversee the situation and coordinate field-level operations through technology-based surveillance.
The monitoring system uses drones and body-worn cameras, alongside live footage transmitted from various devices, to facilitate continuous surveillance and monitor developments in the field.
