A multi-tier security blanket has been thrown over the country to ensure safety and security of people after and before Eid-ul-Fitr.
A large number of people visit their village homes leaving the cities almost empty during the Eid vacation when criminals find it easier to rob people of their belongings.
During this time, the three-tier security blanket will be in place to save people’s lives and property in cities, said police and RAB officials.
Sources in police said Dhaka Metropolitan Police Headquarters has already been given instructions to take all necessary steps.
As per the order, the DMP has instructed its eight crime divisions to ensure law and order in their areas. The DCs too have already issued letters to the OCs of 49 police stations.
8,000 police personnel along with RAB men will be on duty in eight crime divisions. 10 temporary camps have been set up in the capital to monitor security systems.
Along with this, some 3,000 community police personnels will remain on patrol in residential areas.
