State Minister for Home Affairs Asaduzzaman Khan told the parliament that the incumbent government has a plan to recruit more 50,694 police personnel, including 694 naval police, within a very shortest possible time.
“The ratio between police personnel and population in the country is not sufficient. So the country needs more manpower in police department to ensure better service to the citizens,” he said this on Tuesday while replying to a question of opposition bench member Rahim Ullah of Feni-3 during the question and answer session in the House.
