Bangladesh Police Have No Plans to Buy Bedsheets from Germany

Bangladesh police have no plans to buy bedsheets from Germany.

This information was given in a press release sent by AIG (Media and PR) of Bangladesh Police Mohammad Kamruzzaman on Wednesday (February 16).

It is said that a false and misleading information has been spread on social media recently that the IGP is visiting Germany to buy 100,000 sheets for the police force. The fact of the matter is that the police are not buying bed sheets with pillow covers from Germany. Besides, Germany is not a country producing and exporting bed sheets, they are a country of heavy industry.

‘For good reason, the IGP has no time to go to Germany to buy sheets and pillow covers. In addition, under the Public Procurement Act, no official can purchase or procure any type of government product, such as personal goods, by visiting a market or a country. In this case, there is a recommended government procurement process', said in the notification.

According to the press release, Bangladesh Police always buys bed sheets and pillow covers made by local manufacturers through local tenders. This year too, Bangladesh Police has taken steps to procure bed sheets and pillow covers made in Bangladesh through local tenders. Initially, a propaganda order on social media was deliberately spread in the form of rumors to tarnish the image of the police force due to the inadvertent linguistic discrepancy in an official order issued by the Home Ministry.

After this notification, the police headquarters expects that all the confusion related to this will be resolved.
