DMP collects citizen data of 72 lakh people to curb terrorism: Asaduzzaman

DHAKA, Sept 4, 2019 (BSS)- Outgoing Commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Md Asaduzzaman Miah has said that the DMP collected citizen data of 72 lakh people, living in the capital as part of its preventive measures to curb terrorism during his four-and-a half-year tenure.

“We have collected detailed information of more than 72 lakh people of the capital to curb terrorism and militancy during the time and that is my prime achievement as the DMP Commissioner,” he said while talking to BSS at his office here on Tuesday.

The citizen data has been enriched with multi-dimensional information through investigations by detective branch (DB), Counter-Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC) and other units of the DMP, he said, adding that by utilizing these information and intelligence with coordinated and sincere efforts of all, the city dwellers are almost safe now.

Collection of information of tenants under the Citizen Information Management System (CIMS) will be continued in future as no militants and extremists could take shelter in guise of tenants, Asaduzzaman Miah added.

The longest serving outgoing commissioner who is also an Additional Inspector General of Police (Adi-IGP-Grade-1) said that the social network of the police has also been enhanced through community and bit policing.

He said the DMP established a team characterized by the highest form of professionalism by the changing attitude that police is not the master of people, they are the service providers.

With an honest confession in failing reduction of city traffic congestion, the DMP chief expressed his hope that after completion of the ongoing development projects of the government including Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) and Flyover, the situation would be improved significantly.
