Nagad, a mobile financial service provider in the country, has announced its all types of services free of charge for all members of Bangladesh Police.

In the cultural evening organised by Dhaka Metropolitan Police at Rajarbagh Police Lines in the capital recently on the occasion of Victory Day, Tanvir A Mishuk, founder and managing director of Nagad, made this announcement of the charge-free services as part of his gratitude to police's pro-people services.

Tanvir A Mishuk said, "We need your help in creating the database to this end. I want to introduce such a system so that even if I leave the managing director's position in the future, policemen can enjoy all the services free of charge for a lifetime."

Nagad wants to start work on creating an MFS database for police members as soon as possible, he pointed out.

"Police personnel provide us with security and various other services. But we never thank them in return. Nagad is going to offer them this benefit as a token of appreciation for their work," he said.

If the charge-free transaction facility is introduced for policemen, it will be first of its kind initiative for a specialised force in the financial sector.

Speaking as the chief guest, Honourable Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan, MP, at the event said, "I think it is a great offer for the police force from the Nagad's managing director."

Senior Secretary of Public Security Division of Ministry of Home Affairs Md Aminul Islam Khan, Inspector General of Police Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun, and Dhaka Metropolitan Police Commissioner Khandker Golam Faruq also spoke on the occasion.

About 5,000 officers and members of the Bangladesh Police were also present at the event.
