SMP Commissioner Gulam kibria said on Monday, Plainclothes police will be deployed at important city points, including shopping malls, alongside law enforcers in uniform to ensure foolproof security, he said.
The SMP chief said an adequate number of police will be stationed at every shopping mall so that the eid shoppers can shop without any hassle.
Surveillance by intelligence agencies and police patrolling will continue to check mugging and extortion as well as the activities of ‘Ogyan and Malam parties’ during the fasting month, he said. Asaduzzaman also urged the shop owners to boost their own security arrangements installing CCTV cameras in shopping malls.
All the shoppers will have to go through archways and face search by metal detectors for entry into shopping malls, he said. The DMP will hold a coordination meeting with transport owners to keep the city’s traffic situation under a tolerable level during Ramadan, the SMP commissioner said.
