A total of 34 platoons of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) personnel have been deployed in key industrial areas of Dhaka, Gazipur and Narayanganj to ensure overall security, maintain law and order and prevent any untoward incidents amid ongoing workers’ unrest.
Although the week started off with relative calm prevailing in the industrial hubs, with the Wage Board set to hold its second meeting today in the capital, it seems that the authorities anticipate vested interests trying to exploit the situation towards unrest.
The deployed BGB members are performing duties at various important locations, including Savar, Ashulia and Mirpur in Dhaka; Shibu Market, Jalkuri, BSCIC Industrial Estate, Chashara, Kanchpur and Shimrail in Narayanganj; and Chandra, Kaliakair, Palli Bidyut, Mouchak, Ambagan Kata, Naojor, Bhogra Bypass, Gachha and Salna in Gazipur, says BGB headquarters’s Public Relations Officer (PRO) Md Shariful Islam.
The district-wise deployment of the BGB platoons was not disclosed.
Meanwhile, technology-based surveillance is being maintained through the monitoring cell at BGB Headquarters to closely observe the overall situation in the industrial areas and coordinate the activities of personnel deployed on the ground.
Live footage obtained through drones, body-worn cameras and improvised devices is being monitored round the clock as part of the surveillance efforts.
BGB members are carrying out their duties on alert in coordination with the local administration and police.
The force has also maintained necessary preparations and operational activities to deal with any unexpected situation and uphold peace and order in the industrial areas.
