Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) has deployed 33 platoons in different industrial areas of Dhaka and its surrounding districts to ensure the security of garment factories and maintain law and order.

Of the deployed personnel, three platoons are stationed in Mirpur, 11 in Savar and Ashulia, 12 in Gazipur and seven in Narayanganj.

BGB Headquarters Public Relations Officer Shariful Islam disclosed the deployment on Thursday morning, saying a monitoring cell at the headquarters was coordinating and monitoring the activities round the clock.

Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs) and Riot Control Vehicles (RCVs) have also been deployed to strengthen security and respond to any untoward situation.

Drones are being used for live monitoring to make security operations more effective. BGB personnel are also using body-worn cameras and improvised body-worn cameras while performing their duties.

BGB members are working in coordination with the local administration and police to maintain a peaceful environment in the industrial areas and respond to possible incidents.

Shariful Islam said the overall situation in the areas concerned was being closely monitored.
