SRB-14 is actively working to identify those involved in the shooting death of journalist Lutfuzzaman Alif Fakir by miscreants in Durgapur, Netrokona, and swiftly bring them to justice.
Additional DIG Masud Rana, commanding officer of Mymensingh SRB-14, made these remarks on Friday afternoon in response to a question from journalists whilst inspecting the Puja mandap at Gopal Jiur Temple in Sherpur district town.
He said SRB is working to identify those involved in shooting the journalist dead. Information technology is being deployed to bring those involved in the killing swiftly under the law, whilst efforts are also under way to identify the perpetrators and take necessary legal action.
Masud Rana informed that, alongside the police, SRB personnel are conducting patrol activities to maintain a peaceful environment and ensure overall security across 167 Puja mandaps in Sherpur district.
Work is being carried out in coordination with relevant stakeholders to keep the law and order situation normal around Puja mandaps and avoid any untoward situations.
Highlighting that Sherpur is a border district, he added that drugs and various smuggled goods frequently enter through three upazilas of the district.
Consequently, special caution is being exercised to ensure that no syndicate can spread drugs centred around the Puja festival.
He further stated that intelligence surveillance has been increased by SRB to curb drugs and smuggling. Members of law enforcement agencies remain on alert to keep the overall security situation normal around the festival and prevent criminal activities.
