Dhaka, Jul 01 (V7N) — The government has approved a policy decision to establish four police stations, six investigation centers and 41 police boxes under the Dhaka Metropolitan Police as part of efforts to strengthen law and order in the capital's Purbachal New City Project.
Inspector General of Police Md. Ali Hossain Fakir announced the plan while inaugurating the Barkau Police Camp in the Purbachal New City Project area on Wednesday morning.
The IGP said the DMP is also working to establish two police lines, three deputy commissioner (DC) offices, in addition to the four police stations, six investigation centers and 41 police boxes to support the area's growing population and infrastructure.
