Bangladesh, India’s neighboring nation, has declared heightened security measures in anticipation of the Durga Puja festivities in 2024. These measures come in response to concerns regarding potential violence directed at minority Hindu communities.
The Inspector General of Police (IGP) of Bangladesh has underscored the police force’s commitment to vigilant protection of the puja mandaps (temporary structures where the festival is celebrated). This commitment was expressed during a law and order and security meeting convened specifically for Durga Puja at the Police Headquarters.
The IGP outlined a comprehensive three-tier security strategy for the festival, encompassing the period leading up to Durga Puja, the festival itself, and the subsequent idol immersion. This multi-layered approach signifies the government’s proactive stance in ensuring a safe and secure celebration for all communities.
