Online Desk  :  Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed on Wednesday said the government has begun preparing comprehensive lists of criminals and extortionists across the country as part of a decisive drive to restore law and order. “We’re preparing the lists of extortionists and criminals in an unbiased way from across the country starting from Dhaka,” he said while addressing reporters after a meeting with senior officials of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) and officers-in-charge (OCs) of 50 police stations under its jurisdiction at the DMP headquarters.

Highlighting that establishing the rule of law remains a top priority of the government led by the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), he said the drive would be conducted fairly and without bias. The Home Minister called upon police officials to carry out their duties with professionalism and integrity to ensure public safety and maintain law and order across the capital and beyond.

He expressed hope that coordinated efforts between law enforcement agencies and the government would help curb criminal activities and extortion, reinforcing public confidence in the justice system. The minister stated that a list has been prepared for terrorists, main culprits, and those causing unrest in society.
