Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) has issued a red alert along the border area of Hili land port.
BGB imposed the alert around 10pm on Saturday.
BGB Hili ICP Camp Commander Subedar Md Mahbub Alam said: “We have imposed the alert after getting directions from higher authorities.”
The order comes a day after a person was shot while for attempting to attack RAB officials at a check post in Dhaka’s Khilgaon area.
This, coupled with other attacks in recent times, has prompted the authorities to tighten its grip and beef up security across Bangladesh.

An unidentified motorcycle rider was shot dead by RAB members after failing to heed a check post in Khilgaon on Saturday.
The incident took place in Shekher Jayga, a sparsely populated area east of Shabujbagh. This was only 16 hours after a suicide bomber sneaked into a RAB barrack in Uttara and blew himself up, injuring two personnel.
On Wednesday, four militants, including a woman, were killed in a raid at a den in Chittagong’s Sitakunda. Later, police found the body of a child with the woman. In a separate raid, two militants were captured from another hideout in neighbouring Namarbazar in Sitakunda on last Tuesday.
