Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan on Wednesday said there is no threat of militant attacks on National Mourning Day, marking the 44th martyrdom anniversary of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman today (Thursday).
“Our security forces,
detectives remain vigilant so that no such attacks can be carried out,” he said while briefing reporters at a programme in the capital’s Dhanmondi-32.
Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Md Asaduzzaman Mia on Wednesday claimed there is no threat of any major militant attack or security risk in the country as the organisational capability of militant groups has waned.
Bangabandhu Memorial Museum and Banani graveyard will be under CCTV surveillance and dog squads will sweep the areas, he said adding that people coming to Dhanmondi-32 for paying homage to Bangabandhu will be allowed inside after they go through security archways and thorough checking.
He also urged people to cooperate with the law enforcers after paying homage to father of the nation.
Apart from this, security will be ensured for all the other programmes which will be held in different areas of the city tomorrow, he added.
