Govt Beefs increase security, orders for crime

The government today instructed the law enforcement authorities to update criminal databases at the police station and to quickly take measures against criminals to improve law and order across the country, including the capital.

A coordinated approach to Muggers, robbers, young gangs and criminal zones, said the Interior Ministry in a press release.

The implementation of these measures is closely monitored, according to the press release signed by Faisal Hasan, the public relations work of the ministry (director).

Under 14 key guidelines, security in Dhaka was increased with increased control points and patrols in key areas. A common task force, which includes the army, various police units and border protection Bangladesh (BGB), carries out increased operations in targeted zones to curb criminal activities, the press release says.

A nationwide special surgery, which was launched on February 8 of this year, aims to capture identified criminals, terrorists and syndicates involved in drug trafficking and smuggling. In addition, workshops on law enforcement agencies, human rights and environmental aspects for police, administrative officials, judiciary and the public prosecutor were carried out to improve their capacities.

In order to clear up security concerns, law enforcement manager, deputy police commissioner and brigade commander of the army were instructed to inform the media about ongoing operations.

Regular patrols on Dhaka's main roads were reinforced, with the navy and the coast guard also supported.

Criminal prosecution authorities have been reinforced in surrounding areas, including Tongi, Bosila, Keraniganj and Munshiganj, to prevent crime from spreading in front regions.

In order to improve the response times, the government describes motorcycles for the Dhaka Metropolitan Police, BGB, Ansar and the Bangladesh Coast Guard for Swift Patrouillen in Engen Gassen and High risk areas.

Steps were also taken to counteract misinformation, rumors and propaganda by distributing precise information to the public.

High -ranking civil servants, including the advisor for interior matters, the special assistant of the chief consultant, the Interior Minister, the police inspector of the police (IGP), and the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) commissioner, carried out surprising inspections at police stations, checkpoints and patrol locations during the long and early morning.

The Ministry of the Interior has commissioned a committed team to monitor night operations within the metropolises of Dhaka.

In the meantime, case surveillance committees on district and metropolises were formed to ensure fair legal proceedings, which prevents illegal harassment and real criminals are responsible.

Cases related to the families in July uprising are closely monitored to ensure justice, the Interior Ministry added.
