The Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) has launched a nationwide security plan ahead of Eid-ul-Fitr to ensure public safety and prevent potential sabotage. According to a press release issued on March 19, 2026, RAB has deployed extensive personnel across all battalions, strengthened intelligence surveillance, and implemented field-level operations to safeguard Eid congregations and travelers heading home for the holidays.

The measures include operating control rooms, maintaining striking reserves, conducting regular foot and mobile patrols, and setting up checkpoints at key locations. In Dhaka, a multi-layered security ring has been established around the National Eidgah, with entry-point searches, CCTV monitoring, and bomb disposal units on standby. Similar security reinforcements have been made at major Eidgahs in Sholakia and Dinajpur, where sweeping operations are being carried out before and after Eid.

RAB has also intensified monitoring at transport hubs such as bus terminals, railway stations, launch terminals, and ferry ghats to prevent harassment, ticket black marketing, and fare overcharging. Its cyber monitoring team remains active to counter online rumors and misinformation, aiming to ensure a peaceful and orderly Eid celebration nationwide.
