Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Md Shafiqul Islam on Sunday said they have taken coordinated security measures for smooth and peaceful observation of the National Mourning Day on Monday.
“We’ve taken coordinated and tight security measures for peaceful observance of the day, marking the 47th martyrdom anniversary of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman,” he said while talking to the journalists on the security arrangements in the capital, reports BSS.
Md Shafiqul said, “Security plan has been taken for peaceful observance of each and every programme on the occasion of Mourning Day. Particularly, Dhanmondi-32 and its adjoining areas have been brought under foolproof security surveillance with setting up of control rooms, archways and closed circuit cameras (CCTVs) as the President, the Prime Minister and other VIPS are expected to pay their respect on the portrait of Bangabandhu here.”
The DMP chief said everyone coming to pay homage at the Bangabandhu's portrait will have to pass through police check posts and archway gates to ensure their safety and security.
In this regard, he urged the respected citizens to cooperate with the police on duty. The security measures have been strengthened at places where public gatherings are likely to happen, including Bangabandhu Memorial Museum and Banani Graveyard, Shafiqul added.
