A proposal has been sent by Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) to form a separate specialized unit for the overall safety of Metro rail, said DMP Commissioner Khandker Golam Faruq on Tuesday. The metro rail will open a new horizon in Dhaka's public transport sector, said Golam Faruq. "It is very important for public interest," he told reporters while talking to reporters after inspecting the overall security measures taken over the inauguration of metro rail at Main Depot of Uttara's Diabari. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will inaugurate the first segment of metro rail- spanning Uttara (Diabari) to Agargaon, on December 28. For this reason, necessary security measures have been taken in the area to ensure their safety, added the DMP commissioner.
