Militants active online but police on alert: DMP chief
Dhaka Metropolitan Police Commissioner Shafiqul Islam today said they are on alert centring the Durga Puja as militants are active online.
"We are not seeing too much of a risk ahead of Durga Puja festivities but not dismissing concerns either," he said while visiting Dhakeshwari Temple to inspect security measures.
"They (militants) are giving multiple posts (on their platforms)… But we do not have any solid information whether anyone is trying to do anything after being instigated," Shafiqul said while replying to a query.
The DMP chief urged all to maintain health safety rules and cooperate with police personnel during the festival.
The major temples have been brought under CCTV surveillance while patrol teams are set to keep watch on the small mandaps, he added.
