Call 999 in case of any problem: IGP

Inspector General of Police (IGP) Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun has advised the people to inform the National Emergency Service 999 as soon as possible, if they face any kind of problem in Dhaka during the Eid holidays.

"Dhaka becomes almost empty during the Eid holidays. So, please let us know through our control room number or call (National Emergency Service-999) if anyone is in trouble."

"We will take action as soon as possible," he was talking to journalists after distributing the prizes of the Kirat, Hamad Naat and Azan competition to the policemen at the Rajarbagh Central Mosque premises on Friday.

"We will take the same measures that we did in the previous years taking into account all the issues of empty Dhaka, robbery and traffic jams," he said.

"Do not travel at any risk to your life. Travel in a way that you don't have to face any kind of risk. This is what I request from all passengers."

He said the Eid holiday may be long this time. Along with various places, we are taking measures to keep in mind the safety of all recreational spots.

Regarding the involvement of “shohoz.com” with black ticket marketing, the IGP said, "We take action as soon as we receive any specific complaint. No one will be exempted who tries to harass passengers."
