Chattogram CMP policemen protested and went on strike. Yesterday afternoon, more than a hundred policemen were protesting under the banner of Police Reform Platform in plain clothes. The angry policemen demanded justice for the attackers by pointing out various issues including brutal killing of policemen, attack on the police station. CMP Additional Commissioner AS Mahtab Miya spoke here.
He said that every demand of the policemen here is reasonable. The demand for a separate police commission was longstanding. We want to work beyond political influence. Police wants to die as a winner for the country. We were killed while performing our official duties.
At that time, the media asked him whether there is a chain of command of the police at the moment, Mahtab Mia said, there is no chain of command. If there was a chain of command, we would not have seen so many deaths. He said, we hope that the new police officers will listen to our demands. We want to work for the country without any political influence.
We demand compensation to the families of those who died and the status of martyrs. I demand better treatment of the injured. Those who are still in police lines are insecure. They have to pay for their own security. We want this situation to end.
In the current situation of the country, especially the subordinate officers-employees of Bangladesh Police are focusing on the movement to identify those who have destroyed police facilities including killing policemen and bring them under speedy justice, one-time financial compensation to the families of the killed policemen, recruitment rules of the police, especially sub-inspectors and sergeants under the PSC and the police. He demanded to ensure 100% transparency in the recruitment of constables under the headquarters
