Abu Hasan Md Tariq, deputy inspector general of Bangladesh Police, and Md Shahab Uddin, managing director of Teletalk Bangladesh, inked the agreement on the behalf of their respective organisations at a private hotel in the capital on Thursday, said a press release.

Dr Benazir Ahmed, the inspector general of Bangladesh Police, and Mustafa Kamal Uddin, senior secretary of the Public Security Division, among others, were present at the deal signing ceremony.

Addressing the function, the public security secretary described the new method of constable recruitment as a brain-child of the police chief and said that it will pave the way for recruiting more capable, competent and honest individuals to the force.

IGP Benazir said that brilliant and physically capable people will get into police thanks to the newly introduced recruitment process.

Referring to the new method, the police chief said it was formulated reviewing the recruitment process of the neighbouring and developed countries.

He extended gratitude to the authorities concern for approving the method and said it had unfolded a new horizon in the arena of public service, which will directly benefit all the countrymen.
