DHAKA, Sept 23, 2020 (BSS) – The Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC) unit of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) is going to set up a bomb data center which would benefit police and authorized persons at home and abroad regarding advanced training on bombs.

This initiative of setting up data center has been taken to increase the awareness about the bomb and related issues, he added.
