The Counter Terrorism Unit of Chattogram
Metropolitan Police (CMP) for the first time will get two bomb disposal
robots from the United States of America (USA) today.
The robots will be handed over on Sunday to the bomb disposal unit for free
as part of the US Embassy's anti-terrorist support programme, said Asif
Mohiuddin, assistant deputy commissioner (ADC) of CMP's Counter Terrorism
Unit.
He said the robots are scheduled to be handed over to the CMP commissioner
today at city's Dampara Police Lines.
Ricky B. Chambers, senior counter-terrorism adviser of US Embassy in Dhaka,
will hand over two Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) robots with complete
setup.
He said bomb disposal experts will be given two-week training by EOD
technicians to operate the robots.
The remotely controlled robots are capable of defuse explosives on the spot
or move them to a safer place without physical touch, said the CMP sources.
