Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) has intensified security measures in Satkhira region ahead of the 13th parliamentary election. According to a press briefing held on Thursday at Nildumur in Satkhira, 30 platoons of BGB members are being deployed across 16 upazilas and nine parliamentary constituencies in Satkhira, Bagerhat, and Jhalokathi districts. For the first time, BGB will independently handle law and order duties in three upazilas under two border constituencies.
Lieutenant Colonel Shahariar Rajib, commander of the 17 BGB Battalion, stated that up to seven platoons will be assigned per upazila. To ensure comprehensive security, 20 temporary base camps are being established under the 17 BGB, which will operate as mobile and striking forces conducting regular patrols by road and waterways. In remote haor areas, BGB will act independently, while in district headquarters and other zones, it will coordinate with police and RAB. Around 90 kilometers of border areas in Satkhira will remain under constant surveillance.
The BGB commander added that from February 1, the force will perform all election duties with professionalism and integrity, following riot control training and preparatory drills already completed.
