Law enforcement agencies on high alert over AL programme: adviser

Home Affairs Adviser Lt Gen (retd) Md Jahangir Alam Chowdhury on Tuesday said law enforcement agencies are on high alert ahead of the Awami League’s planned Dhaka ‘lockdown’ programme on November 13, assuring that the situation will remain normal.

The adviser made the remarks after a meeting of the advisory council committee on law and order at the Secretariat.

“There had been detailed discussions here and we need your cooperation in one matter. If anyone is found suspicious, immediately inform the law enforcement agencies,” he said.

He said law enforcers are in a strong position and there is no cause for concern, as they will remain vigilant.

“No leniency will be shown to terrorists. You often say terrorists get bail very quickly. To ensure they do not get bail easily, we will also request the authorities not to release terrorists on easy terms,” the adviser said.
