The police spokesperson said the success has come due to hard work of the personnel of the law enforcing agencies, their commitment, timely measures and proper coordination among the stakeholders. 

"No untoward incident took place in the country as we had the highest preparation and proper coordination among all the stakeholders," he said. 

To ensure flawless security, he said, patrol of the law enforcing agencies were beefed up during the holidays in addition to setting up  check posts in the strategic, entry and exit points of the city.

The police spokesperson said Bangladesh Police issued a complete guideline for homebound passengers, drivers, transport owners and other stakeholders in order to ensure a safe and smooth journey ahead of Eid-ul-Fitr.

 The guideline helped a lot to ensure safe journey of the passengers to and from Dhaka for which the country witnessed less road accidents during Eid holidays than the previous years.

Several motorcycle accidents took place during the holidays when some people were killed and injured, he said.

The police officer stressed the need for creating awareness among the passengers and drivers to curb such accident in future.

Asked for the statistics about the casualties in road accidents across the country during Eid holidays, he said the information will be available within two or three days.  

Apart from the Police Headquarters, the Home Ministry and Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) had issued separate guidelines for maintaining the law and order and keep the criminal activities under control in the capital and elsewhere in the country.

Muslehuddin Masud, a resident of South Dania in the city expressed satisfaction over the measures taken for ensuring safe journey of the passengers.

He told BSS that he was travelling to Dhaka from Sonapur of Noakhali district in the night of April 3 by bus.

 Soon after our bus started for Dhaka at 7:30pm, some army members boarded the bus and enquired about the wellbeing of all passengers, Masud said.

Army personnel also asked the driver to drive slowly and not to pick up any passenger out of the counters as part of the precaution to check robbery, Masud said.

 Nazmul Haque, a resident of capital's Kazla area told BSS that they were happy with the security measures taken by the government which helped them to celebrate the Eid safely and peacefully.

 He continued that armed force personnel even on April 4 patrolled their area and called upon the residents over microphone to stay alert against the criminals and inform them immediately after receiving any information of crime.
