The IGP also told reporters at Bashundhara Shopping Complex premises that security has been strengthened in markets, shopping malls and roads across the country on the occasion of Pahela Boishakh and holy Eid-ul-Fitr. Security arrangements have been made during Iftar, Sehri and Taraweeh prayers. Metropolitan Police, District Police, RAB, APBn and various intelligence agencies are coordinating to ensure security.

Security arrangements have been made in all the markets of Dhaka city and security zones have been created at different levels.
