All measures taken to ensure security during Ekushey observance: DMP

Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Khandaker Golam Faruq on Sunday said that there is no possibility of terrorist attack during the observance of the Language Martyrs Day or International Mother Language Day as DMP has taken all necessary preparations to ensure security, reports UNB.

"We have brought the entire area from Plassey to Doel Chattar under CCTV cameras' surveillance to ensure security. The area will be monitored by CCTV cameras from the police control room," the commissioner said.

Golam Faruq made the remarks while replying to questions from journalists about the overall security measures taken on the occasion of Amar Ekushey February.

"The programme has been divided into two parts. The President, the Prime Minister, cabinet members and diplomatic personnel will pay their respects to the martyrs first. Then, it will be opened to the general public", he said.

People will enter through Plassey and exit through Doel Chattar to pay respect to language martyrs, said the DMP commissioner adding that no bags or other stuff will not be allowed to carry.
