The Bangladesh Ansar and Village Defence Party has launched special training programmes to enhance the operational capabilities, professional skills and strategic preparedness of Ansar Battalion members to tackle emerging security challenges and emergency situations.
As part of the initiative, a 14-day inter-battalion refresher training programme focusing on morale and skill development is underway at Chuadanga Ansar Battalion.
The training, titled “Commitment to Social Security and Development: Implementing the Director General’s Mission to Achieve People's War Defence (PWD) Capabilities”, places special emphasis on improving physical fitness, mental resilience, morale, discipline and professional competence.
Participants are also receiving training on how to respond professionally and lawfully to strikes, blockades, violent protests, riots, picketing and other forms of unrest.
The programme includes practical exercises on maintaining normal traffic movement, protecting important public and private offices and installations, safeguarding people's lives and property, and preventing potential violence and damage.
Special attention is also being given to self-defence techniques, situation assessment, quick decision-making and coordinated responses during emergencies.
Under the strategic guidance of the Director General, similar training activities are being conducted across the country to improve the capabilities and professionalism of Ansar Battalion members.
The initiative aims to transform the force into a more skilled, disciplined, modern and responsive organisation while strengthening its role in maintaining public security and law and order.
