Law enforcement agencies have taken all-out security measures ahead of the Awami League’s upcoming national council to be held at Suhrawardy Udyan in the capital, said Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Md Asaduzzaman Mia.
A multi-tier security has been arranged to ensure the safety of thousands of people who are expected to throng the Suhrawardy Udyan, said the DMP chief while talking to reporters after inspecting the security arrangements at the venue on Wednesday.
Besides, he said, the entry of common people to the Suhrawardy Udyan will be restricted from October 21.
Archways will be set up at all the entrances of the Suhrawardy Udyan equipped with metal detectors, he said.
Replying to a question, the DMP chief said: “There has been no specific threat so far. However, a vested quarter is involved in conspiracy to destabilise the country.”
Meanwhile, Director General of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) Benazir Ahmed said necessary security measures have been taken as it is a big event.
