Mahfuj said from now onwards, the government will play a strict role in case of any anarchy or mob violence.
He, however, said the government will hold meetings with media personnel soon to discuss how the media will create awareness among the common people on law and order.
"If need, we will discuss with the Ministry of Cultural Affairs to determine the process of campaigning law and order issues. We can carry out several types of campaigns including awareness video to make people more aware," he said.
