Nine police personnel to be deployed at each metro rail stationThe government of Bangladesh is going to inaugurate the country's first urban rail network, stretching from Agargaon to Uttara, on December 28. Thousands of passengers are expected to use the metro rail every day. The government had planned to create a special police unit for the metro rail, but that has been shelved for the time being. There will also be an executive magistrate working on behalf of the metro rail authorities,” said MAN Siddique, managing director of DMTCL. However, some experts have suggested handing over the task of ensuring security at metro rail stations to a private company.
