Staff Reporter :
Top bosses of law enforcement agencies have said sufficient security measures have been taken across the country to ensure a peaceful and smooth celebration of Eid.
According to them, a considerable number of police and RAB members have already been deployed countrywide, including Dhaka and all divisional cities.
‘We have taken all possible security measures to ensure safety for peaceful celebration of the Eid,’ said Inspector General of Police (IGP) AKM Shahidul Hoque.
Against the backdrop of the militant attack last year,
the government has beefed up security measures at the country’s largest Eidgah, Sholakia, at Kishorreganj with deployment of five platoons of Border Guard Bangladesh, and a large number of law enforcers.
Asked about intelligence report of militant attack centering the Eid, Director General (DG) of RAB Benazir Ahmed said, ‘We have no such information. Stringent security measures have been taken across the country, especially in the Eidgahs keeping every possible threat in mind.’
For a smooth and jubilant Eid celebration, RAB, police and different intelligence agencies, both in uniform and plain clothes, are active at different strategic points in the cities, including bus terminals, railway station, river-ports, launch and ferry ghats, to prevent any untoward situation.
Law enforcers in large numbers are now working to curb snatching, robbery toll collection, the dope gang and other crimes. They are also monitoring buses, launches, trains, auto rickshaws, cars, micro buses and other vehicles at all strategic intersections in the big cities and its adjoining districts to thwart all kinds of criminal activities.
Several mobile teams are patrolling big cities and vulnerable areas to maintain law and order. Law enforcers, particularly RAB, are monitoring the highways for safe and sound journey of homebound people.
To make the security foolproof check posts have already been set up at different strategic points across the country, which are now being monitored by the law enforcers round the clock.
All officers-in-charge of the police stations across the country have already been instructed to remain vigilant in the areas under their purview to restrict suspected criminals and their activities.
