The police station, covering not only Khilgaon, but also parts of Rampura and Banasree in Dhaka, employs about 200 personnel in total. Sources at different ranges and units of police told Dhaka Tribune that the units had been asked to use raincoats for the time being to cope with the PPE crisis. Dr Emdadul Haque, police superintendent (SP) at Rajarbagh Central Police Hospital, told Dhaka Tribune that field level officials on duty for ensuring social distancing were at higher risk of being infected.
