Govt to procure motorbikes for DMP, BGB, Coast Guard & Ansar

The government has taken steps to procure motorcycles for law enforcement agencies including Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), Ansar alongside Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) to intensify internal security campaign and vigil.

“Steps have been taken to purchase motorcycles for DMP police members, BGB, Ansar and Bangladesh Coast Guard members so that they can immediately patrol the alleys and catch criminals,” a home ministry statement said.

It said the initiative was taken as part of a series of decisions to improve law and order situation while “regular monitoring is being carried out by the ministry to implement the decisions”.

In an apparent reference to the joint-force driven Operation Devil Hunt, the statement said the home ministry was monitoring the countrywide special operation launched on February 8, 2025 to capture “identified criminals, terrorists, drug dealers and smugglers”.

According to the statement the security patrolling has been intensified alongside increasing checkpoints and crime-prone areas by the joint forces comprising military troops, various police units and BGB.
