Discharge duties to help build corruption-free Bangladesh
Monday, 3 September 2007
SARDA (RAJSHAHI), Sept 2 (UNB): Chief Adviser (CA) Fakhruddin Ahmed has urged the probationary police officers to carry out their duties as future leaders of the law enforcing agency to fulfil people's aspiration of a terrorism- and corruption-free prosperous Bangladesh.
He made the call addressing a function marking the completion of one-year training by Assistant Superintendents of Police (ASPs) of the 25th BCS (police) cadre at the Bangladesh Police Academy parade ground here Sunday.
The head of the caretaker government said the role of the government's administrative machinery is pivotal in materialising the long-cherished aspiration of the common people for a terrorism- and corruption-free affluent Bangladesh.
"Law and order situation in the country has been better in the recent time, compared to any other time in the past, following positive and neutral role of police," he said.
He added: "Keeping the people's welfare in mind, we are making efforts to increase the qualitative standard of services rendered by various public service providing institutions including police."
Besides, laws and rules and regulations are also being made time-befitting, he said, expressing the optimism that it is possible to bring about epoch-making changes in the country's socioeconomic field if positive attitude can be brought about among the police forces.
The CA also expressed his happiness that model thanas have been set up in many areas in the country, including capital Dhaka, responding to his call at a high-level meeting of police officials six months ago.
A total of 192 probationary ASPs, including more than two scores of women, have successfully completed the training at the Police Academy.
Probationary ASP M Mohiuddin has been adjudged as the best rider, Md Kamruzzman as the best academic and Md Abdullah Al Mamun as the best probationer.
Fakhruddin said the government is taking multifarious steps in bringing reforms in the police forces that resulted in the increase of internal monitoring and observation to prevent corruption in police. Other reforms are being implemented while public service delivery centre, victim support centre and monthly open day system have been introduced in the metropolitan and model thanas.
Following these steps and services, positive response is being received from the people, he added.
Congratulating the freshly graduated police officers for successfully completing the hard training, he said: "You have to remember that on one hand you are servant of the people and on the other their friend."
He expressed the hope the members of the police forces would be known as such among the people. "Truth, justice, honesty and discipline will have to be your ideal. Ensuring security and welfare of people should be your main mission," he told the probationary ASPs.
The Chief Adviser appreciated the performances of members of the police forces in various countries of Asia, Europe and Africa in UN peacekeeping missions, which has brightened the country's image in international arena.
Earlier, the newly graduated probationary ASPs gave a guard of honour to the Chief Adviser and the CA reviewed the parade. He also witnessed a spectacular march-past of the parade and took salute from the parade.
On his arrival at the venue, the Chief Adviser was received by Home Secretary Abdul Karim, IGP Noor Mohammad and Commandant of Bangladesh Police Academy Mokhlesur Rahman.
Senior civil, military and police officials were also present on the occasion.
