The government in its previous and present tenure has created 78,536 posts for police force aimed at ensuring security of the people along with modernising and strengthening of the force.
"We have undertaken various initiatives and programmes for police department as part of its further modernisation and strengthening," Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan said this, while replying to a tabled question from opposition bench member Begum Hazera Khatun in the Jatiya Sangsad today.
He said the government has created 33,102 posts in police department during its previous regime, while 45,434 posts during the present tenure.
"To this end, the ratio between police and people is being reduced. In future the government would consider the issue of manpower increase in the police department," Asaduzzaman Khan told the House.
