Sylhet to get 3 new police stations

The city of Sylhet will soon get three new police stations, a much-needed initiative aimed at ensuring better policing and law and order maintenance.

A proposal has already been sent to the office of the deputy commissioner of Sylhet Metropolitan Police (SMP), which will be forwarded to the police headquarters after proper scrutiny, UNB has learnt. In fact, the proposal to set up Gazi Burhan Uddin police station, Shahi Eidgah police station and Jalalpur police station are part of SMP’s initiatives to increase coverage.

“This proposal will eventually be sent to the National Implementation Committee for Administrative Reorganization-Reform (Nicar) for the final approval,” said Sylhet police commissioner Nisharul Arif.

The police stations will be opened “once we get the final go-ahead”, he said.
