BGB to strengthen security along the Kalmakanda border

The Dinajpur Battalion (42 BGB) has intensified surveillance to ensure border security, protect the nation's sovereignty, and prevent infiltration and cross-border crimes. The border guard force continues to conduct round-the-clock special patrols, intelligence operations, and tactical missions in high-risk and sensitive border areas. Furthermore, initiatives have been taken to expand the use of modern technology, such as floodlights and thermal drones, for border monitoring.

The Dinajpur Battalion (42 BGB) shared this information in a press release issued on Thursday afternoon (November 12). The BGB stated that, in light of the current situation, border security measures have been further strengthened. Intelligence surveillance has been increased alongside special patrols in identified high-risk zones. 

To ensure effective monitoring during the night, floodlights are being installed at critical locations. Additionally, the deployment of modern technology, including thermal drones, is being ramped up. This will enable the rapid detection of suspicious movements, even in remote or poorly lit areas, allowing for immediate intervention.

Regarding this, Lieutenant Colonel M M Zillur Rahman, Commander of the Dinajpur Battalion (42 BGB), stated that no form of infiltration, or attempted infiltration, across the border will be tolerated. Any fugitive or wanted individual attempting to cross the border into Bangladesh will be brought to justice.

He emphasized that the BGB remains on high alert to prevent any individual or group from entering or leaving the country illegally. Surveillance and operational activities will continue in all sensitive border areas.

The BGB Commander further noted that the cooperation of local residents and journalists is vital for ensuring border security. He urged the public to promptly report any sightings of unfamiliar or suspicious individuals, attempts at illegal border crossings, or other suspicious activities to the nearest BGB camp.

The Dinajpur Battalion (42 BGB) will maintain its rigorous surveillance, intelligence operations, and special missions to safeguard the nation's sovereignty, ensure border security, and protect the lives and property of those living in the border regions. The BGB is committed to performing its duties with professionalism, competence, and the utmost sense of responsibility, without making any compromises regarding border security.
