“Adequate police personnel in uniform and in plain clothes will be deployed to ensure flawless security at the locations.
“Sweeping will also be done with the Dog Squad and Bomb Disposal Unit. Naval police patrol will be deployed in Dhanmondi Lake. Fire tenders and ambulances will be deployed at Dhanmondi 32-centric security around the August 15 event. Medical teams will be present at the two venues for first aid,” said the release.
