This year after January 5, we saw how the innocent people were held hostage and killed in the name of waging movement. The violent movement left 19 policemen killed and 300 policemen injured critically. A person with good sense and conscience will not brook such barbaric acts of terrorism,” said the IGP, adding that the politicians have to abide by the laws of the country.  The IGP also asked the members of police to give the best service to the people.  The inaugural ceremony was addressed by Additional Inspector General Mainur Rahman Chowdhury, DIG Chittagong (Range) Shafiqul Islam, CMP Commissioner Abdul Jalil Mondal, among others.
