Sixteen platoons of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) have been deployed in the Sherpur-3 (Sreebardi-Jhenaigati) constituency to maintain law and order during the national parliamentary by-election. Sherpur District Election Officer and Returning Officer Mohammad Jahangir Hossain confirmed the deployment, stating that the BGB will operate as both mobile and static forces from April 4 to April 11, covering the election day on April 9.
According to the Election Commission, the Sherpur-3 constituency lies near the border, where the army is legally restricted from operating within eight kilometers of the frontier. Therefore, BGB forces have been assigned instead. Around 320 BGB members are participating, supported by ten Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) teams and four reserve teams to strengthen election security.
The by-election was rescheduled after the death of Jamaat-e-Islami candidate Nuruzzaman Badol, which led to the postponement of the February 12 election. The constituency, comprising 17 unions and one municipality across two upazilas, has 128 polling centers serving 413,377 registered voters.
