Police members who have not yet joined their duties
will be brought under the law.
Lieutenant General (Retd.) Md. Jahangir Alam
Chowdhury, the Security Adviser, made this remark to reporters after a Law and
Order Committee meeting at the Ministry of Home Affairs in the Secretariat on
Tuesday (October 1).
The Security Adviser said, "Those who have not
joined, we will not call the police. We will call them criminals."
The adviser announced a decision to recruit new
members for the Ansar, police, and BGB, stating, "We have decided to
recruit for the Ansar, police, and BGB. You will receive the recruitment notice
for sub-inspectors within a few days."
Expressing hope that the Durga Puja for Hindu devotees
will be more peaceful and better than any previous time, the Security Adviser
said, "I cannot say that the current law and order situation is good, but
it will improve day by day. The situation in the Chittagong Hill Tracts is now
good and will gradually get even better. After the peace agreement, one group
has not surrendered its weapons."
Additionally, the adviser mentioned that security
arrangements will be made for shrines and dargahs.
