, July 17 -- Two platoons of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) have been deployed in Faridpur ahead of a rally of National Citizen Party (NCP) to ensure security.

BGB members have been deployed in Faridpur to avoid any untoward incident, said Shariful Islam, public relations officer at BGB headquarters.

The decision came a day after an attack on a rally of the party in Gopalganj that left four people dead.
