Basila: Primary and Mass Education State Minister Bobby Hajjaj today announced that two separate police stations will be established in Basila and Rayerbazar by 2027 to further strengthen the law-and-order situation in the area. "It is essential to increase police capacity to ensure the security, peace, and order of the people of this vast area. To that end, administrative initiatives have been taken to make two separate police stations operational for residents of Basila and Rayerbazar, which will be fully operational by 2027," he said.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the state minister made these remarks during a programme titled 'Tea with the Minister, Your Home is the Address', held in the capital's Basila area today. He emphasized the government's strict stance against juvenile gangs and various crimes, highlighting the significant progress made in controlling crime in the area over the past few months.
Instructions have been given to establish a strong beat-policing system in the Basila Bridge area to prevent criminals from Keraniganj and adjoining areas from entering Basila or Mohammadpur, committing crimes, and fleeing. The state minister also outlined a plan to modernize the overall educational environment of the area, indicating that an initiative is being taken to establish a science and technology university in Mohammadpur soon.
Regarding discipline in the primary education sector, the state minister stated that there is no provision for admission tests in any primary school in the country. "If any private institution violates this rule, it will be completely illegal. Within the next one to one-and-a-half years, all private primary schools in the country will be brought under an effective registration and legal framework," he said.
During the exchange of views, local residents raised various issues related to security, gas, water, electricity, and the environment.
