DMP to beef up security during Eid vacation

Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) will beef up security during this Eid vacation to guard holidaymakers' houses and business establishments in the capital, said DMP Joint Commissioner Monirul Islam yesterday.

Police patrol teams will be deployed in different areas two days prior to Eid-ul-Fitr and the teams will work in coordination with different law enforcement agencies and private security teams, Monirul said at a press briefing in the capital.

The DMP official requested private organisations to check their CCTV cameras to ensure their proper function during the vacation.

Around one crore people will leave Dhaka to celebrate Eid with their families, he added.
