The Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) has deployed three platoons in Gopalganj to maintain law and order following clashes, arson, and crude bomb explosions. BGB personnel are coordinating with other law enforcement agencies under the guidance of the district magistrate, according to BGB Public Relations Officer Md Shariful Islam.

The deployment follows clashes between police and banned Chhatra League activists in Tungipara, during which a police vehicle was set on fire.

The unrest began around 10:30am when activists from the banned Chhatra League, along with members of the Awami League and Juba League, gathered at the Tungipara intersection. Protesters allegedly set fire to a police vehicle during a confrontation with police. Gopalganj Superintendent of Police Habibullah confirmed that eight people were arrested, seven motorcycles were seized, and 15 unexploded crude bombs were recovered. These incidents followed a series of crude bomb explosions and road blockades across the district the previous night, linked to a strike called by the banned Chhatra League. Locations affected by explosions included the Gopalganj District School, Government Women’s College, the passport office, and the Government Technical School and College. Additionally, protesters blocked the Dhaka-Khulna Highway in the Betgram area.
