Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB) Chairman Md Monjur Kabir Bhuiyan clarified that there are no plans to establish the Bangladesh Airport Security Force, describing protests by its employees against such a move as baseless. However, according to CAAB, there are no plans to form such a force. Speaking to The Business Standard today (18 March), the CAAB chairman said, "There is no basis for their protest as the issues they raised are baseless. Despite prior communication with officials, protests were initiated without valid reasons. Md Robin Dewan, security officer of the aviation security department at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, told TBS that a Bangladesh Airport Security Force is being formed, with 70% of personnel sourced from the Air Force and only 30% from civilians.
