Robbers fear in capital, city dwellers in insecurity
Due to the quota reform movement in government jobs, all police stations of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) are currently empty. In this situation, robberies are happening at night in some areas of the capital. Panic is spreading among the capital residents. They are suffering from insecurity. Residents of many areas are spending sleepless nights to prevent robbery.
From 12:30 pm on Thursday (August 8), robberies spread in Demra, Nandipara, Khilgaon, Basabo, Banasree, Rampura Gogan, Shakhari Bazar, Kathalbagan, Mohammadpur and Mirpur areas of the capital.
Residents said that everyone became alert after hearing the bandits had entered the area. They have already arrested some robbers from Mohammadpur, three from Mazar Road in Mirpur and one from Shanir Akhra. Residents are suffering from insecurity due to night robbery. Many called the emergency number provided by the army and BGB in the incident of robbery.
According to police sources, there have been attacks, vandalism and looting in more than four hundred police stations across the country including Dhaka. Considering the situation, no one feels safe in the police station or their respective offices. Some are hiding in the homes of relatives. Army personnel rescued policemen from some police stations.
After the resignation of the Sheikh Hasina government, in the absence of the police, there has been a fear of robberies in the last three nights. As a result, the residents are guarding by forming teams in different areas of the capital. Locals came to the field to resist the robbers with sticks and bamboo at every turn.
Meanwhile, on August 7, ISPR informed that, in the current situation, members of the Bangladesh Army are deployed to provide overall security to public property and important government facilities. In case of any acts of vandalism, mayhem or death threats are requested to contact the nearest army camp.
In this regard, it has been asked to refrain from misleading the army by providing false information and fearing rumours. City residents have been asked to call the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) in Dhaka to prevent any acts of robbery or harm to public safety.
For the assistance of BGB in the capital Dhaka to prevent dacoity or public safety activities, contact: 01769-600555 and 01889-600555.
Incidentally, after Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled the country on August 5, the situation in the country became critical. When most of the police stations in the capital, Dhaka, came under attack, the members of the police force were somehow unannounced and inactive. For this, miscreants and a class of people started stealing, robbing and looting.
Under Army supervision, 29 police stations started functioning in capital
About 29 police stations in the capital have started operations with the help of members of the military from this morning, almost four days after the fall of the Sheikh Hasina government based on the quota movement. Army personnel are engaged in assisting the policemen in the police stations.
Members of the army and police gave this information in a press conference at Tejgaon police station on Friday (August 9) at 11 am.
At that time, the company commander of the army's 25 East Bengal Regiment Shakhawat Khondokar said that there was a huge flow of people that day (August 5). It was becoming difficult to control them. As criminals are killing common people and policemen, we have decided that the police station is an important establishment, and policemen should be saved. They are public servants, they should be given a chance to reform again. Apart from this, there are hundreds of families and policemen at the Tejgaon police station. There are many weapons in the police station. The country will be in extreme danger if they get that. Then we made arrangements to strengthen the security of the police station.
