Home Minister orders middlemen-free police stations

Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed on Saturday directed law enforcement agencies to eliminate middlemen from police stations across the country, including those under Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP).

He issued the directive while visiting Ramna Model Police Station in the capital where he inspected different sections including detention rooms (thana Hajat room) and reviewed the overall environment.

During the visit, the Home Minister also spoke with the Officer-in-Charge and other on-duty police personnel, inquired about their work conditions and listened to their concerns.

Emphasising integrity and professionalism, he instructed police members to provide services to the public with honesty, fairness and sincerity.

He warned that strict action would be taken if any police officer or member found guilty of negligence or corruption.
