Altogether 189 platoons of the Border Guard Bangladesh were deployed across Bangladesh on Monday to prevent any untoward situations surrounding the BNP’s fourth blockade and ensure security at garment factories.
Among them 25 platoons had been positioned in Dhaka and adjacent areas, BGB Public Relations Officer Shariful Islam said.
The second day of a countrywide 48-hour blockade, called by the BNP, Jamaat and their allies, was underway on Monday.
Earlier, the BNP enforced two rounds of 48-hour nationwide blockades from November 5 to 9 with a break on November 7 and a three-day countrywide blockade from October 31, following a hartal on October 29 and a rally the previous day.
The blockades have been marked by clashes, violence and torching of several dozens of vehicles.
