The Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) has deployed 33 platoons of personnel across key industrial areas in Dhaka, Gazipur and Narayanganj, using drones and body-worn cameras to monitor security operations and prevent unrest.

According to a BGB statement, live footage from drones, body-worn cameras and other surveillance devices is being monitored round the clock by a dedicated cell at the force's headquarters. The cell is also coordinating the activities of deployed personnel in the field.

The deployment covers major industrial hubs and strategic points across the three districts. BGB personnel are working alongside local administration and police to maintain law and order and ensure uninterrupted industrial activities.

Dhaka has received the largest deployment, with 16 platoons stationed in Mirpur, Savar, Hemayetpur, Jirani, Ashulia and Jamgora. Of these, nine platoons have been deployed in Ashulia alone.

In Gazipur, 11 platoons have been deployed across Chandura, Palli Bidyut, Mouchak, Ambag-Kata, Kashimpur, Naojor, Bhogra Bypass, Gachha and Salna.

Meanwhile, six platoons have been stationed in Narayanganj, covering Shibu Market, Katherpul, Jalkuri, the BSCIC industrial estate, Chashara intersection, Kanchpur Bridge and Shimrail.

The BGB said its personnel were maintaining heightened vigilance and coordinating with police and local authorities to respond to any potential security threats.

The force added that the deployment and surveillance operations would continue to maintain a peaceful environment, protect lives and property, and ensure the normal functioning of industrial activities.
