Tight security on V-Day

The law enforcers and intelligence agencies have taken three-tier security measures by deploying over 20,000 police and Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) members backed by dog squads and detectives for trouble-free celebration of the Victory Day today.
At each venue, three-tier checkpoints will be put up with security men checking people with sweeper, archway and metal detector. Besides, Rab dog squad and women police will be on duty.

Talking to The Daily Star, Rab Additional Director General Col Gulzar Uddin Ahmed said, “A total of 4,500 people would remain vigilant across the country to ensure a trouble-free Victory Day celebration.”
