The new police chief assumes office after taking over from Baharul Alam
He formally takes over from outgoing IGP Baharul Alam
He is said to have expressed “desire to resign” at a meeting at Police HQ
Although the risk could not be ruled out, people can feel reassured that the risk of militant attacks is no longer as significant as before, the IGP says
The meeting is being held at Agargaon’s Nirbachan Bhaban
The police chief spoke to people connected with the two buildings and asked about the situation, a police official says
Police say the incidents involved vandalism, intimidation, online provocation and disruption of religious events
“We want to have a functional Police Week rather than a formal one,” the police chief says
