Overall law and order has returned to normal across the key industrial zones of Gazipur and Narayanganj following the strategic deployment of 10 platoons of the Bangladesh Ansar and VDP (Village Defence Party) Battalion. Thanks to a special security operation initiated on November 4 and 6, vehicle movement on the major Dhaka-Tangail, Dhaka-Mymensingh, and Dhaka-Chittagong highways has completely normalized, while garment factories continue full production.

Under the direct instructions of Major General Abdul Motaleb Sazzad Mahmud, Director General of Bangladesh Ansar and VDP, six platoons from the Ansar Guard Battalion (AGB), Dhaka Metropolitan Ansar Battalion, and Manikganj Ansar Battalion were deployed to vital spots in Gazipur, including Bhogra Bypass, Maona, Gacha, Mouchak, Sofipur Bazar, Chandra, Palli Bidyut, Telipara, Chandana Chaurasta, and Salna. Concurrently, four platoons from the Nawabganj, Gopalganj, and Madaripur Ansar Battalions were posted at key points in Narayanganj, such as Chashara, Fatullah, BSCIC, and Kanchpur.

On the ground, 10 company commanders and circle adjutants are directly executing operations under the leadership of executive magistrates from the district administration. Overall security supervision is led by Md. Asaduzzaman Gani, Deputy Director General of the Dhaka Range, along with the District Commandants of Gazipur and Narayanganj. Field coordination is further supported by Deputy Director Rafiuddin Zakaria and Assistant Director Muhammad Abdus Samad in Gazipur, and Assistant Director Md. Shaheen Mia in Narayanganj.

Alongside other law enforcement agencies, intelligence units and local Ansar-VDP volunteers have been deployed to ensure real-time reporting and maintain peace.

 With robust security measures in place, garment workers have spontaneously returned to their workplaces, keeping production lines active and restoring a sense of relief among local business communities and the public.
