Hindus assured of foolproof security during Durga Puja
Police yesterday assured the Hindus of foolproof security during the upcoming Durga Puja in Chittagong division and several other adjoining districts.
The assurance came from Deputy Inspector General SM Moniruzzaman of Chittagong Range at a meeting with Puja Udjapan Parishad leaders at his office.
A total of 50,000 security personnel including police, Ansar, border guards and Rab will be deployed at 3,594 temples of 11 districts under the range, said SM Moniruzzaman, who chaired the meeting.
At the meeting, superintendents of police in the 11 districts -- Chittagong, Brahmanbaria, Chandpur, Noakhali, Laxmipur, Comilla, Bandarban, Khagrachhari, Rangamati, Cox's Bazar and Feni -- were present.
The DIG urged the Parishad leaders to install CCTV cameras at every temple and remain alert to foil any kind of violence.
He said they formed a committee comprising people from all walks of life to ensure communal harmony so that incident such as the one in Brahmanbaria's Nasir Nagar last year does not recur, said the DIG.
Additional DIG (Crime) Kusum Dewan and other high police officials were present at the meeting among others.
