DHAKA, Sept 2, 2026 (BSS) - Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) Director General 
Major General Mohammad Ashrafuzzaman Siddiqui today inspected remote border 
areas of Chattogram and the Chattogram Hill Tracts (CHT) and inaugurated the 
newly-constructed Rahmatpur Border Outpost (BOP) under Ramgarh Battalion (43 
BGB) in Fatikchhari upazila.

Speaking at the inauguration, the BGB chief said the Rahmatpur border area is 
geographically and strategically important due to the Feni River basin and 
hilly terrain, said a BGB release this afternoon.

He said the new BOP would strengthen border security by increasing patrols 
and surveillance along the river and in the remote mountainous areas while 
helping control smuggling routes and prevent trafficking of drugs, arms and 
other illegal goods.

Later, the BGB DG inspected Panchhari Battalion (3 BGB) and exchanged views 
with personnel of sectors, battalions, BOPs and camps under Chattogram Region 
through a video teleconference.

He provided necessary directives on operational, training and administrative 
activities.

The BGB DG also inspected Bogapara BOP under Jamini Para Battalion (23 BGB) 
and Rajnagar Battalion (37 BGB) under Rangamati Sector and discussed border 
security issues with personnel.

He urged BGB members to remain professional and vigilant against smuggling, 
illegal infiltration and push-ins.
