Police camps, police stations, police boxes will work in the areas in association with the private security companies, he said.
“Around one crore people will leave Dhaka to celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr outside. The security forces will remain active to curb crimes in the city areas. Close Circuit Cameras (CC TV) will be active in the residential area. The number of CCTV will be increased if necessary,” said Monirul.
The DMP official also asked all to examine the close circuit camera televisions (CCTVs) installed at different residential and commercial buildings and make necessary repair arrangements for those to ensure foolproof security.
