The deputy commissioner of Chittagong yesterday urged the ward councillors of the city and Awami League leaders not to influence law enforcers to release suspected militants from custody.
“We know that for release of militant suspects, political leaders say they are their relatives. Please do not abuse political identity…Rather, help police through providing information about those involved in militancy and let police work independently,” said DC Mesbah Uddin.
He was addressing a meeting on forming ward level committees to resist terrorism and subversive activities at his office.
Councillors from ward 1 to 10, officers-in-charge from four police stations, teachers and khatibs from different schools, colleges and mosques and local ward level AL leaders were present.
The DC directed the ward councillors to form such committees within seven days.
“Every committee will comprise highest 101 and lowest 41 members,” said the DC, who will approve the committee following recommendation from the city mayor and investigation by the law enforcers and intelligence agencies.
