Police to propose tender dropping at SP offices
The police yesterday decided to recommend that the government allows bids of different government tenders to be submitted at police stations and offices of superintendents of police concerned.
At a conference on crime held at the Police Headquarters, a number of top police officials also raised voices against "cross fires" and "encounters" terming them unlawful and violations of human rights.
Meeting sources said police high-ups made the decision regarding tenders in the wake of widespread tender manipulations that not only led to a number of killings and violence but also damaged the image of the present government.
The sources said police are always blamed for their failure to control tender manipulations even though ruling party leaders and workers are involved and they often clash among themselves to take control of the bidding process.
"If the government allows bidders to drop their bids at police stations and offices of the SPs alongside the government offices concerned, everybody intending to submit bids will be able to do it," said a police officer requesting anonymity.
The officer also said if the government accepted their proposal, it will decrease tender-related violence to a great extent.
Additional Inspector General of Police (administration) NBK Tripura told The Daily Star that the police headquarters prepared a list of directives for all police stations across the country to tackle stalkers.
"Apart from this, a special drive would be launched against stalking and stalkers," the AIGP said.
Sources said the meeting also expressed concern over the increasing number of incidents of stalking, cyber crime, threat issuing and extortion using mobile phones.
Rapid Action Battalion Director General Hassan Mahmood Khandker said the meeting reviewed existing law and order and discussed different issues like tender manipulation, cyber crime and stalking.
IGP Nur Mohammad chaired the meeting that was also attended by all the AIGPs, chiefs of Criminal Investigation Department and Special Branch of police, police commissioners of six metropolitan cities, all the deputy inspectors general, assistant inspectors general and SPs.
