Police's comment on book publishing audacious
I am not sure if any police force in the world has ever made such a comment before! But Bangladesh's police made an shocking statement, asking the Bangla Academy to verify manuscripts before books are published. On Friday, after observing the security situation of this year’s book fair at Suhrawardy Udyan in Dhaka, Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Sheikh Mohammad Sazzad Ali made this remark to journalists. After hearing his comment, poets and writers across the country are writing on social media, expressing their confusion over whether to call his statement unfortunate or ridiculous. Some are even asking, "Is it still the police of the Awami League era?"
Why negligence in police patrols and searches?
The country's law and order situation is already precarious, with incidents of theft, robbery, and mugging on the rise. Recently, it has come to light that the police's patrols and searches exist only on paper, with little practical implementation. According to reports published on Sunday (January 26), police presence on the streets of Dhaka during the night seems as rare as the new moon. While search checkpoints and patrol units are listed on paper, they are scarcely visible on the roads. Meanwhile, residents are living in fear of muggings. This news is concerning for the public.
