Khulna Metropolitan Police (KMP) has taken tight security measures to ensure peaceful celebration of 'Janmastami', the birth celebration of Lord Krishna, at city temples, scheduled to be held on August 26, reports BSS.
The decision was taken in a view exchange meeting between Khulna Metropolitan Police (KMP) and the leaders of Hindu community at KMP headquarters in the city on Friday evening with KMP commissioner Md Mozammel Haque in the chair, a KMP press release said here on Saturday.
The meeting decided to take adequate security measures at temples so that any terrorist or militant groups can't organise any subversive activities during the 'Janmastami' celebration.
To keep law and order situation stable, adequate police including plain clothes and women will be deployed along with the volunteers who will be deployed by the Puja Udjapan Parishad.
The KMP commissioner asked the leaders of puja udjapan committee to send a list of temples where 'Janmastami' will be celebrated to the KMP control room and to refrain from activities during 'Azan' and 'Namaz' and urged devotees to enter temples without bags.
"Traffic police will be deployed at the temple areas," he said, adding that devotees and the Hindu community men should refrain from sending provocative posts through social media which will destroy communal harmony in the society.
Additional Police Commissioner Taslima Khatun, KMP officials, city unit Puja Udjapan Parishad President Shyamol Halder, its General Secretary Shyamol Kumar Kundu, among others, attended the meeting.
