Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal will attend the programme on Saturday, according to Cox’s Bazar Superintendent of Police ABM Masud. Inspector General of Police Mohammad Javed Patwary is also coming to Cox’s Bazar on Thursday to inspect the preparations for the programme, the SP said. More than 150 listed and identified yaba smugglers have gathered at a place which SP Masud called “a safe custody” arranged by the smugglers themselves ahead of the surrender. The idea began to gain ground when a group of yaba smugglers based in Cox’s Bazar contacted police to surrender. These are mostly influential people from Teknaf, a sub-district in Cox’s Bazar, and include some elected public representatives.
