Dhaka Bureau: There is no specific information about the terrorist attack. Although there is no specific information about the terrorist attack, the police operation is continuing. It will continue. Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Khandkar Golam Farooq told reporters after visiting the National Eidgah Maidan today at 10 am on Wednesday (June 28).
He said, Eid-ul-Azha is going to start tomorrow. Important state persons will participate in prayers at National Eidgah in Dhaka. With the system in place, there will be no problem in praying even in the rain. The police will perform their duties well to ensure the safety of the Eid ground. There will be three levels of security. Everyone will be checked and allowed to enter for security reasons.
DMP Commissioner Khandkar Golam Farooq said that car parking can be done in five places. From there you have to walk to the National Eidgah.
On the question of whether there is a threat of terrorist attack or not, the DMP Commissioner said, CTTC will be ready if there is a threat of terrorist attack. But so far there is no specific information about the terrorist attack. Our CTTC, Cyber Unit is working. If there is any threat of terrorist attack, they will take action.
He said that we have taken all kinds of measures to ensure the security of empty Dhaka. Our mobile team is also in touch with the home guard. They are told to inform us if they see any kind of problem. We arrested many of the criminals who were in the capital. As the court is closed due to Eid holidays, there is no chance for them to get bail. But the criminals who are still there will be monitored.
Regarding the check post, he said, check post is not always kept at the same place for a long time. This is our strategy. If criminals know there are always checkpoints in the same place, they will look for alternative routes.
In this year’s Eid congregation, 35,000 worshipers will be able to pray at the National Eidgah. The DMP Commissioner urged everyone to bring umbrellas to avoid the rain as the weather is bad.
