A total of 229 platoons of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) have been deployed nationwide including in Dhaka on Thursday to maintain law and order.
This measure comes in response to a nationwide complete shutdown announced by the student movement against discrimination to protest killings during its agitation for quota reformation in government jobs.
Shariful Islam, Public Relations Officer of BGB Headquarters, confirmed the development on Thursday morning.
The deployment aims to ensure peace and stability across the country during the nationwide shutdown.
