A total of 233 platoons of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) forces were deployed across the country, including 28 in Dhaka and adjacent districts, to maintain law and order situation.

BGB Public Relations Officer Shariful Islam confirmed the matter on Thursday (November 23).

Besides, an adequate number of BGB personnel were kept on standby to promptly respond to any emergency in the country.

A total of 205 BGB platoons were deployed outside Dhaka to avoid any untoward incidents.

On the second day of the sixth phase of 48-hour countrywide blockade enforced by Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and like-minded opposition parties is underway.

The party has announced a series of hartals and blockades since their October 28 rally was foiled.
