Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) has deployed 430 platoons across the country to ensure security at 2,857 Durga Puja mandaps, including those in border areas and the capital Dhaka, ahead of the Sharadiya Durga Puja 2025.
24 base camps have been established in the bordering districts to help maintain law and order during the festivities. The force is also conducting special patrols and strengthening intelligence surveillance to prevent any untoward incidents, says a BGB press release.
Of the total mandaps under BGB security, 1,411 are located within eight kilometers of the border and in the hill tracts, while 1,446 are outside these areas.
Some 441 mandaps are situated in Dhaka, Narayanganj and Gazipur city corporations; 694 in Chattogram metropolitan, Raozan and Rangunia; and 311 in other districts.
BGB said it remains committed to safeguarding national peace, security and sovereignty. The force added that it is working in close coordination with local administrations and other law enforcement agencies so that people across the country can celebrate Durga Puja in a peaceful environment.
