be more alert and vigilant in preventing militancy, terrorism and drug abuse," he addressed the police officials, gathered at Durbar Hall of Bangabhaban Wednesday evening on the occasion of "Police Week-2023".
Highlighting the various activities of the government for the development and
modernization of the Bangladesh police, the President directed the police forces to develop their respective efficiency to face the future challenges. The Head of the State also advised them to work with
honesty and devotion for the welfare of the country and its people, being imbued with the spirit of the Liberation War.
