All members of Border Guard Bangladesh are determined to maintain overall law and order during the election period in order to ensure full participation/participation of the people, exercise of voting rights, and a peaceful and festive election environment in the upcoming “Thirteenth National Parliament Election and Referendum-2026” organized by the interim government and the Election Commission in the midst of the country's fatigue. Unlike the past, political activities with different ideologies, intense competition between heavyweight candidates, and self-interested, evil forces and saboteurs cannot destroy the electoral level playing/festive environment, so that no one can destroy it. We expect your kind cooperation to provide us with overall support through information/data provided by the BGB during the performance of duties.
During the election period, 61 BOPs, 3 ICPs and 7 temporary posts will be set up in the 327.30 km long responsible border area of Comilla sector. Campaign activities will continue to prevent smuggling of arms, ammunition, narcotics and other goods through camps/posts and to prevent illegal infiltration. So that people with different ideologies, armed men and evil forces/potential saboteurs cannot enter Bangladesh and create a chaotic environment and disrupt the election activities.
To ensure the security of the long border area in the Comilla sector, the BGB has achieved significant success in the anti-smuggling and border crime operation from November 1, 2025 to January 25, 2026. The value of the seized smuggled goods is 94,41,04,965 taka.
