DMP works for country: Asaduzzaman

Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) commissioner Md Asaduzzaman Mia today said his force works only for the country, not for any person.“Team DMP is working as a family. Maintaining law and order in the country during this Eid was very good. People of all walks of life have appreciated our role. Ramadan, Ratha Yatra and Eid have passed without any unpleasant incidents. Many of us couldn`t even perform Tarabi and Eid prayers because of duty, as it is equivalent to prayers for us,” he said at a reunion after Eid vacation at DMP headquarters.“The city dwellers have been able to continue their Eid shopping till midnight without falling victims to crimes like mugging and theft. Prime minister herself lauded the role of police during exchanging Eid greetings at Ganabhaban. We have given uninterrupted security to all the Eid congregations. Because of the activities of police`s different units like counterterrorism and detective branch, there were no militant attacks in the capital in the last one year,” the DMP commissioner added.Additional commissioner (counterterrorism) Monirul Islam, joint commissioner YM Belalur Rahman and joint commissioner Md Anwar Hossain were present on the occasion among others.Source: BSS
