Major General Mohammad Ashrafulzaman Siddiqui, Director General of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), formally inaugurated two new border outposts in Cox’s Bazar on Tuesday. The outposts, Saint Martin BOP and the newly established Sea Beach BOP under Teknaf Battalion (2 BGB), were confirmed by Lieutenant Colonel Md Hanifur Rahman, commander of the 2nd Battalion, on Wednesday.

According to BGB, the Saint Martin BOP includes modern facilities and infrastructure designed to enhance the safety, efficiency, morale, and operational capacity of stationed personnel. The new Sea Beach BOP at Lengurbil in Teknaf features modern architecture and comprehensive amenities, aimed at strengthening border security and improving the working environment for BGB members.

BGB sources stated that the establishment of these outposts will make the overall security management of Saint Martin Island more dynamic and effective. The inauguration marks the full operational start of the Saint Martin BOP, following the redeployment of BGB to the island in April 2019 after earlier security responsibilities had been transferred to the Bangladesh Coast Guard.
