Policemen becoming victims of mayhem
Sir,
Members of the police force are becoming victims of killing and mayhem in recent times. Assistant Police Commissioner Rabiul Islam and OC of Banani thana Salahuddin lost their lives while performing their duties at the Holey Artisan Bakery at Gulshan.
On the other hand, two police constables named Jahirul and Ansarul Haque were killed by militant outfits while on duty at the Eid congregation at Sholakia in Kishoreganj district. The people of the country feel proud at the martyrdom of these members of the police force.
Despite many limitations, the members of the police force in the country are performing their responsibility with more dexterity and boldness than ever before. The reputation of the police force is also increasing as highly educated, patriotic and courageous young men have joined the police force.
At present the total number of members of the police force in the country is one lakh and 41 thousand, that is there are 90 policemen for the security of one lakh people, which is much less than the neighbouring countries.
But since the members of the police force in our country are performing their responsibility with the utmost devotion, the number of crimes in our country is much less than other countries.
Considering all these the government should increase the facilities of the police force so that they can increase their skills further.
