Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Md Shafiqul Islam yesterday advised city dwellers to leave their gold ornaments with relatives who live nearby before leaving Dhaka city during Eid.
“Many city dwellers go to their village homes to celebrate Eid with their loved ones. During this time, their homes are empty. So, one should keep their gold ornaments at the houses of their close relatives,” said the police commissioner while addressing a monthly crime conference at DMP headquarter.
At the meeting, the DMP commissioner told police officials that in order to prevent any mishap at this time, it is necessary to talk to the security guards of houses and take required measures, according to the DMP Media Wing portal, “DMP News”.
“As 15 Ramadan has come to an end, now city shopping malls will gradually see huge crowds. To rob the crowds, Malam and Agyan (dope) parties will increase at this time. Therefore, the patrol teams of police stations have to be more vigilant,” he said. However, criminal activities cannot be prevented only by guarding. If necessary, special teams have to be formed to arrest criminals, he said.
He added that criminals should be identified, arrested, and brought under the law to curtail such crimes. Shafiqul Islam said traffic congestion has also increased with Eid coming up. “For this, if necessary, you have to coordinate with the police in the surrounding districts to keep the traffic at the entrances to Dhaka city flowing smoothly,” he told the traffic division.
