No militancy resurgence since interim govt took office: Home adviser

There has been no resurgence of militancy in the country since the interim government assumed office, Home Adviser Lt Gen (Retd) Jahangir Alam Chowdhury said today (2 April).

Talking to reporters after exchanging Eid greetings and visiting six police stations in the capital, the adviser also dismissed any possibility of such an occurrence.

"Currently, the law and order situation of the country is satisfactory, and there is a scope to improve it further. We are trying to take the country's law and order situation to a more improved state," the adviser said.

The adviser made the remarks while briefing the journalists after exchanging Eid greetings and visiting six police stations in the capital.

"Everyone except the law enforcement agency members is on vacation. The law enforcers are working tirelessly to ensure the safety and security of the people and protect their assets. The law enforcement agencies are active and awake so that the general people can sleep peacefully," he added.

Stating that police have been instructed not to harass any innocent person, the adviser further said police have also been instructed so that no criminal gets scot-free.

"No miscreant will be spared," the adviser also said.

While talking to journalists, the adviser said the makeshift police stations in the capital will be relocated to designated places to lessen public misery and improve the quality of service of the police stations.

"Some police stations in the capital are operating in rented buildings. This is creating both public suffering and a drop in the service quality of the police stations. We are trying to relocate these police stations to their own buildings as soon as possible. This will benefit the people and make the police stations more active by easing their operations," he said.
