BSS, Chittagong :
Chittagong Metropolitan Police (CMP) on Tuesday said they charted out a plan for intensified security during the upcoming Durga Puja in the port city.
“We have listed some of the puja mandaps in three categories for providing security “a CMP spokesman told BSS.
He added 10 members of law enforcement agencies would be deployed at major puja mandaps during the puja.

“The commissioner assured Chittagong City Puja Udjapon Parisad of taking foolproof security for smooth celebration of the festival at the meeting at CMP headquarters,” the spokesman said.
Besides, he said, the intelligence agencies were asked to enforce intensified vigil in and around the city.
