Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) personnel have been deployed in Dhaka, Faridpur, Gopalganj, and Madaripur districts to strengthen security measures and maintain law and order.
The paramilitary force confirmed the deployment through a brief statement from its Public Relations Officer, Shariful Islam, noting that BGB personnel have commenced patrolling in these districts.
The Home Ministry authorised the BGB deployment as a precautionary measure to ensure public safety ahead of the International Crimes Tribunal-1’s expected verdict in a case concerning crimes against humanity against former prime minister Sheikh Hasina and former home minister Asaduzzaman Kamal.
This follows an earlier deployment on 12th November, when twelve platoons were positioned at various strategic points across the Dhaka metropolitan area, with two additional platoons stationed in Narayanganj and Gazipur City Corporation areas.
The deployment coincides with heightened security measures around key government offices, court premises, and major intersections throughout the capital. Law enforcement officials confirmed that patrols have been intensified, and surveillance enhanced to prevent any untoward incidents.
Senior officials from the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) and several district administrations stated that coordination meetings were held earlier to review the overall security situation and allocate forces accordingly.
Authorities have urged citizens to remain calm and cooperate with law enforcement personnel, assuring that all necessary steps are being taken to ensure public safety and maintain normalcy.
