The Special Response Battalion (SRB) does not anticipate any major security threats in December and expects the country's law and order situation to remain normal.
SRB Legal and Media Wing Director Wing Commander MZM Intekhab Chowdhury said this at a press conference at the battalion's media centre in the capital's Karwan Bazar on Sunday.
“We do not anticipate any major threats surrounding December at this point. We are working alongside other law enforcement agencies and want to assure the people that the country's law and order situation will remain normal,” he said.
Asked how crude bombs were being brought into Dhaka despite police checkpoints, he said it was not possible to secure every part of the vast city, but law enforcement agencies were making every effort to maintain order.
On motorcycles allegedly used in recent crude bomb explosions, Intekhab Chowdhury said authorities were examining CCTV footage to identify those involved and had already made arrests.
He added that law enforcement agencies had stepped up searches of motorcyclists, their bags and other belongings at checkpoints to prevent sabotage.
