The Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) has deployed 281 patrol teams across Bangladesh, including 94 in Dhaka, to ensure security during this year’s Durga Puja celebrations.

RAB reports that 31,526 puja mandaps are being set up nationwide. Enhanced surveillance, intelligence monitoring, and continuous patrols have been launched to prevent violence, sabotage, or disruption during the festivities.

Deployment began on September 25 and will continue until October 3. Battalions are coordinating with local puja committees, elected representatives, and other law enforcement agencies.

RAB also urged citizens to immediately contact local control rooms or assigned district officers in case of any security concerns.
