BIP demands workplace security for all

Bangladesh Institute of Planners (BIP) yesterday demanded workplace security for all professionals.

It also sought exemplary punishment for killers of Dr Abdur Rakib Khan in Khulna and Gazipur City Corporation's executive engineer Delwar Hossain. BIP issued a statement to press home their demands.

They said the killing of an on-duty engineer and a doctor has highlighted how professionals are working without security. "If professionals do not feel safe at workplace, the overall development of the country will be hampered," the statement said.
