The government has approved the creation of 2,258 new posts in the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) organogram across various ranks of the paramilitary force, a senior official at the Home Ministry said on Tuesday. n”The newly created positions range from director to sepoy level, in accordance with BGB’s operational requirements,” an official familiar with the process reveals it to journalists.
With this expansion, the total number of sanctioned posts in BGB will rise to 59,735 from the existing 57,477.

The remaining posts will be filled under the existing BGB recruitment regulations.
The new positions include: three subedars major (all categories), 57 nayeb subedars (all categories), 240 habildars (all categories), 285 nayeks (all categories), 15 lance nayeks (office assistant), 327 lance nayeks (all categories), 15 soldiers (office assistant), and 1,221 soldiers or sepoys (all categories).

Several of the newly created positions are designated to strengthen manpower at BGB’s Guimara Hospital, including seven habildars (all categories), three nayeks (all categories), six lance nayeks (all categories), and 14 soldiers (all categories).
