Ansar-VDP Director General Inaugurates Newly Constructed Barrack as Part of Institutional Reform and Members’ Welfare Initiatives
As part of ongoing initiatives to improve the welfare of Bangladesh Ansar and Village Defence Party (VDP) members, expand accommodation facilities, and modernize infrastructure, Director General Major General Abdul Motaleb Sazzad Mahmud inaugurated a newly constructed soldiers’ barrack named “Protyoy” at the force’s headquarters on Sunday, November 8, 2026.
The newly constructed barrack features modern facilities and has been designed to ensure adequate natural light and ventilation. It also includes a modern dining facility and other essential amenities, taking into consideration the comfort and daily needs of the personnel. The initiative reflects the force's commitment to ensuring a healthier, more organized, and comfortable residential environment for members serving at the headquarters while improving their overall quality of life.
Addressing the inauguration ceremony, the Director General said that various institutional reforms and infrastructure development initiatives were being implemented systematically to ensure the long-term, planned, and sustainable development of the force's headquarters.
Considering the country's limited land resources, he emphasized the importance of making the most effective use of every available space and facility. He noted that there was no room for resource wastage or unnecessary extravagance in any development initiative.
He further stated that accommodation facilities had recently been introduced in an expanded building as a significant step towards addressing the longstanding housing shortage among personnel at the headquarters. As part of a broader plan to resolve the accommodation crisis, the force has also undertaken an initiative to construct a modern soldiers’ barrack with a capacity of approximately 1,000 members. In this regard, the process of preparing a Development Project Proposal (DPP) through the Public Works Department is progressing with the aim of completing it as quickly as possible.
The Director General also emphasized that ensuring the fundamental rights, accommodation facilities, and overall welfare of force members remains one of the key commitments of the leadership.
To ensure the proper utilization and long-term sustainability of infrastructure and resources, specific responsibilities have been assigned, alongside regular monitoring arrangements, for maintaining the plumbing, electrical systems, and overall cleanliness of the barracks and other facilities at the headquarters.
He urged all concerned personnel to demonstrate greater awareness, sincerity, and responsibility in carrying out their respective duties. Expressing optimism, he said that coordinated efforts, regular maintenance, and effective supervision would ensure the proper use of facilities while sustaining the continuity and long-term impact of ongoing development initiatives.
Speaking on professionalism and discipline, the Director General stated that there was no place for personal interests, negligence of duty, or unethical conduct in a disciplined force.
He emphasized that personnel who perform their duties with dedication, sincerity, and professionalism must receive appropriate recognition and evaluation. At the same time, he stressed that necessary strict action would be taken against those involved in negligence and irregularities.
He called upon all officers, employees, and members of the force to discharge their respective responsibilities with complete honesty, dedication, accountability, and professionalism to meet the expectations of the state and the organization.
Expressing his firm conviction, he said that a modern, efficient, and effective force could be built through the combined practice of the highest standards of discipline, individual commitment, accountability, and professional conduct.
Additional Director General of the force Brigadier General Mamunur Rashid, along with officers and members from different levels of the organization, attended the inauguration ceremony.
