Terrorist Attack | RAB No fear of militant attack in the New Year: RAB
Dhaka, April 13: RAB has intensified surveillance and security on the occasion of New Year tomorrow, 1st Baishakh, 14th April. However, they say there is no danger of militant attacks in the New Year. The RAB director general said this in response to a question from reporters after inspecting the overall security arrangements on the occasion of the first Baishakh-1429 'Bangla New Year' at Ramna Batmul in the capital on Wednesday (April 13).
The RAB DG said that after analyzing the intelligence information, cyber monitoring and other information, they did not get specific information about the militant attack centered on the New Year. Yet we are not suffering from complacency. We are ready to thwart militant plots by increasing cyber monitoring.
He said that the RAB's cyber monitoring team is ready and vigilant so that no provocative or false information can be spread in the virtual world centered on the New Year.
Asked if the RAB had any such information, the RAB director general said there was no information to panic.
"We are conducting cyber patrolling," he said. "RAB Cyber Monitoring Team is working round the clock. They are on duty 24 hours a day. They inform us as soon as they receive any information. Other law enforcement agencies and all intelligence agencies have their own cyber teams. We look forward to receiving any information from anywhere. We are also ready to take action."
There is RAB as the Dhaka Metropolitan Police and Elite Force looking after the security at Ramna Botmul. Asked if there was coordination between the two sides, the RAB director general said, "Of course there is coordination. We hold coordination meetings. We work with different forces in different parts of the metropolitan area of different districts across the country. We are working in coordination everywhere."
