Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina
today asked police to achieve people's confidence through humanitarian works as
she inaugurated the "Service Desk" at each police station and police
housing scheme for homeless people.
"Bangladesh police will be
people's servant and will acquire their trust and confidence. People will have
to be rendered services in such a way that they always have confidence in
getting justice whenever they go to police," she said.
The premier said this while
virtually opening the two humanitarian initiatives of police from her official
Ganabhaban residence here marking the birth centenary of Father of the Nation
Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
The programme was held at Dhaka
Metropolitan Police Lines, Rajarbagh, Dhaka, while all the police stations,
police ranges and police lines were connected to it.
Inaugurating the "Service
Desk" at all 659 police stations across the country for women, children,
elderly and disabled people and handing over 400 houses built by police for
homeless, she thanked the law enforcement agency for the humanitarian
initiatives.
"Today is a special day as
the "Service Desk" at each police station was opened across the
country for women, children, elderly and differently-able people and houses
built by the police were provided to homeless families," she said.
The premier asked the police
personnel to work with honesty, urging them to always stand beside the people
and work for their welfare and reach the services at their doorsteps as her government
is working to do it.
"You have stood beside the
people and always stay beside them and work for their welfare," she said.
The prime minister also asked the
police force to work for ensuring people's rights who are lagging behind and
being deprived of getting services and to stand beside them as the government
wants to make overall development of the society.
She said her government is
working for making the police force as a specialised one and giving every
possible advantage so the services of police would reach the people's
doorsteps.
Referring to Father of the Nation
Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's remark that police should be pro-people,
the premier said the two humanitarian initiatives are police's pro-people work.
Sheikh Hasina also exchanged
views with some service receivers from the service desk, women police personnel
who are providing the service and beneficiary people who got the police houses,
connected remotely from different parts of the country including Chattogram, Peerganj
of Rangpur and Khulna.
Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan
and Senior Secretary of Public Security Division at Home Ministry Md. Akhter Hossain
spoke on the occasion while Inspector General of Police (IGP) Dr Benazir Ahmed
gave the welcome address.
An audio-visual documentary on
two humanitarian initiatives of Bangladesh Police was screened at the function.
For opening the "Service
Desk", a separate room has been arranged at each of the police station.
A specially trained woman
sub-inspector will lead the desk with other skilled female officers.
The desks are also entrusted with
informing visitors about other government services and providing legal aid to
victims who are financially insolvent.
Police is set to build one house
in 520 police stations each across the country for the homeless people. In the
first phase, the police have distributed 400 houses.
The houses which were built with
standard modern construction materials are earthquake and hot resistance.
