The police personnels have been barred from browsing mobile phones or staying engaged with the device while discharging duty.
The directive was issued from police headquarters recently.
The ban forbidding pictures, playing games, watching videos, listening to music, browsing Facebook or YouTube, has been put into effect since Thursday.
Police can only use mobile phones for official purpose and during emergency, the directive says.
Any police officials found violating the instructions will be held responsible for negligence of duty.
The order came after the open attack on Prof Muhammed Zafar Iqbal’s life on March 3.
A bearded youth attacked Prof Muhammed Zafar Iqbal in Sylhet’s Shahjalal University of Science and Technology during a programme.
Photographs of policemen, deputed to guard Professor Zafar Iqbal, were allegedly browsing their mobile phones moments before the attack, to have been circulating the social media and drawing flack.
