The Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) has established a "Breast Feeding Centre" at Ekushey Boi Mela.

He said DMP Commissioner Habibur Rahman took the initiative taking account of the mothers with small, dependent kids.

Talking to BSS, a female visitor said that many visitors have applauded this initiative of the DMP.

Visitors can also contact the officer-in-charge of the Police Control Room located at the Book Mela by dialing 01749-419904 (Police Control Room in Bangla Academy) and 01734-290977, 02-44610016 (Police Control Room in Sohrawardy Udyan).
