DHAKA, July 15, 2026 (BSS) - Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) has announced comprehensive security measures across Bangladesh to ensure the peaceful observance of the July Martyrs' Day tomorrow. 

In a statement issued today, RAB said it has strengthened security arrangements in coordination with other law enforcement agencies, intelligence services and local administration following an overall assessment of potential security risks.

The elite force said heightened vigilance has been put in place to prevent any untoward incidents by extremist groups, banned organisations or elements seeking to disrupt public order during the nationwide observance.

As part of the security plan, RAB has intensified intelligence gathering, deployed plainclothes personnel along key routes, increased patrols and established additional checkpoints at strategic locations. Security has also been reinforced at programme venues and July memorial sites.

RAB said its Bomb Disposal Unit and Dog Squad are conducting security sweeps at important locations in the capital and will remain on standby to respond to any emergency throughout the observance.

The force added that it will operate under its own command while maintaining close coordination with police, intelligence agencies and local authorities to ensure effective security coverage.

Urging public cooperation, RAB requested citizens to immediately report any suspicious activity or attempts to create disorder to the nearest RAB patrol team or battalion commander, saying public support would be vital to maintaining law and order during the observance of July Martyrs' Day.

July Martyrs' Day (July 16) is an annual national commemorative day in Bangladesh established by the government to honor the victims of the 2024 July Uprising.
