The home adviser added that the group is also trying to create chaos across the country so that the ongoing Durga Puja, which began yesterday, could not be celebrated peacefully and safely.
He called for cooperation from all to restore normalcy in Khagrachhari and ensure safe celebrations of Durga Puja.
Turning to the Dhaka Metropolitan Police, he said the force has 50 police stations, half of which are in rented premises. "We are working to shift all police stations into their own buildings," he added.
