'RAB Ready to Thwart Any Sabotage Plan'

RAB Director General Chowdhury Abdullah Al Mamun said that after analyzing intelligence information, cyber monitoring and other information, no specific information was found about any attack centered on Eid. Yet we do not suffer from complacency. RAB is ready to thwart any sabotage plan by increasing intelligence surveillance and cyber monitoring.

He said this while inspecting the security arrangements of the National Eidgah on Sunday (May 1) morning.

The RAB has stepped up surveillance across the country to ensure overall security during Eid-ul-Fitr, the director-general said. He said a sufficient number of RAB members have been deployed in their respective areas to strengthen security. Sweeping will be done by RAB Bomb Disposal Unit and Dog Squad at various places including National Eidgah and important Eidgahs of the country.

In addition, for overall security, there will be RAB control room, striking reserve, foot, and mobile patrol, vehicle scanner, observation post, check post, and CCTV monitoring system.

Check posts have been set up at bus stands, railway stations, launch terminals, and temporary RAB camps for the safety of homebound people on Eid.

He said that a hotline (01777720029) has been opened by RAB.

In the virtual world, RAB's cyber monitoring team will continue to monitor online to prevent any kind of rumors, provocative information, and spreading of false information centering on Eid, he added.
