Sahara warns law enforcers, asks them to check crimes

Home Minister Sahara Khatun yesterday warned officials of law enforcement agencies that they would be held accountable for failing to improve law and order in the country soon.
“I have ordered the law enforcement agencies to work for improving law and order immediately although they have acute shortage of manpower,” Sahara told the press after giving her welcome speech at a ceremony celebrating the 37th founding anniversary of Bangladesh Mahila Samity.
The police department and other law enforcement agencies have long been suffering from shortage of manpower, which stands in the way of ensuring the level of security citizens expect, said Sahara, who is the general secretary of Mahila Samity.
The government will use budgetary allocation for recruiting personnel in the agencies, she said, adding, “The Awami League-led government considers eradication of militancy and terrorism as its main challenge and we are working to achieve that goal.”
Mahila Samity organised a fair of seasonal food items at its Bailey Road head office to mark the founding anniversary.
