Six platoons of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) personnel were deployed in Gopalganj today (15 November) to maintain law and order and ensure public security.
The BGB said in a press release that its personnel will perform their duties in coordination with other law enforcement agencies, following the requests and directions of the district magistrate.
The deployment aims to maintain law and order and ensure public safety across the district.
Earlier, three platoons of BGB personnel were deployed in Gopalganj on 10 November following clashes, arson attacks and crude bomb explosions.
The earlier deployment followed a clash in Tungipara in which Chhatra League activists set fire to a police vehicle as law enforcement tried to disperse them.
The clash broke out when police tried to disperse protesters who had gathered at Tungipara intersection carrying oars and poles.
Police arrested eight people, seized seven motorcycles and recovered 15 unexploded crude bombs in connection with the incidents.
The unrest followed crude bomb explosions and road blockades across the district on the night of 9 November over a nationwide strike called by the banned Chhatra League.
Crude bombs were reportedly detonated near Gopalganj District School, Government Women’s College, the passport office, and Government Technical School and College.
Activists also blocked the Dhaka-Khulna Highway in the Betgram area by setting fires and staging protests.
Torch processions and crude bomb explosions were also reported in Kotalipara.
