Chattogram Metropolitan Police (CMP) Commissioner Saleh Mohammad Tanvir said police were making all-out effort to rescue the missing journalist Golam Sarwar.
Police are following all sorts of strategies and hope to get a positive result soon, he told the journalists at his office after on Sunday.
Tanvir was briefing the media following a protest programme by Chittagong Union of Journalists (CUJ) in front of the CMP Commissioner's office.
Leaders and members of CUJ held protest rally demanding the rescue of journalist Golam Sarwar, 35, who has remained traceless since October 29.
At the protest programme, journalists warned of tough movement, if police failed to rescue Sarwar.
They also announced that a memorandum would be submitted to the Home Minister and the Inspector General of Police on Monday on the matter.
CUJ President Mohammad Ali, Joint General Secretary Sabur Shubh, former vice president of Bangladesh Federal Union of Journalists (BFUJ) Mostaq Ahmed, Chittagong Press Club General Secretary Chowdhury Farid, CUJ General Secretary Md Shamsul Islam and Senior Vice President Ratan Kanti Debashish, Vice President Anindya Tito, Organizing Secretary SM Iftekharul Islam, and Executive Member Muhammad Muharram Hossain, among others, spoke on the occasion.
An executive editor of "Current Times News (CTN) BD," a Chattogram-based online news portal, Sarwar is a staff journalist at a Dhaka-based weekly, "Ajker Surjodoy," and a member of CUJ. Sarwar disappeared after departing from his residence in Chattogram's Battery Goli area on morning of October 29.
Recently Sarwar wrote two reports – one on the casino business, and the other one on land grabbing by powerful men with his colleagues suspecting that disappearance of Sarwar could be linked to the latter.
