BGB deployed in Dhaka

A total of 14 platoons Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) members have been deployed in Dhaka city to avert any untoward incident ahead of Jamaat enforced tomorrow’s hartal.

BGB men were deployed at all strategic points in and around capital Dhaka this evening and will remain active until next morning, BGB Public Relations Officer Mohsin Reza told The Daily Star.

Meanwhile, the Jamaat has called for a dawn-to-dusk countrywide hartal tomorrow in protest against what it claims the government’s plot to kill the party leader Mir Quasem Ali in a war crime case.
