Dhaka: Director General of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), Additional IGP Md Ahsan Habib Palash, has declared that the force is on the highest alert to maintain law and order across the country during the upcoming Eid-ul-Azha. “All RAB battalions are conducting robust patrolling, operating checkpoints, and strengthening intelligence surveillance in their respective areas to ensure public safety during Eid,” Palash stated after visiting the National Eidgah premises.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the RAB chief revealed that mobile checkpoints and search operations are being conducted in coordination with other law enforcement agencies at key locations in the capital and nationwide. Special security measures have also been implemented for major Eid congregations.
Palash further noted that intelligence monitoring is being intensified to prevent activities such as black marketing, illegal stockpiling, price manipulation, food adulteration, and the circulation of counterfeit products that could destabilize the market during Eid. Online monitoring activities will be maintained round the clock.
“As major cities become less crowded during Eid holidays, risks of theft, robbery, and mugging tend to increase. To address this, night patrols and security checkpoints have been increased at metropolitan, district, and upazila levels nationwide,” he explained.
The RAB chief also emphasized that “RAB has taken all-out measures so that people can celebrate Eid peacefully and joyfully with their families and relatives.” He added that RAB’s regular patrols, intelligence surveillance, and operational activities against terrorism and other criminal activities will continue uninterrupted to maintain the country’s law and order situation.
