Police in Dhamrai, under Dhaka district, are struggling to provide adequate public safety services due to a severe shortage of vehicles. The shortage follows the destruction of five pickup trucks and one prison van during a student and public protest on August 5, 2024. The Dhamrai police station covers a large area of 304 square kilometers, including 16 unions, one municipality, and more than 400 villages with a population exceeding 600,000.
Because of the lack of vehicles, police are unable to conduct regular patrols, respond promptly to emergencies, or carry out operations to arrest criminals. The shortage has also affected VIP protocol duties and routine law enforcement activities. As a result, incidents of drug trading, theft, robbery, and other crimes are reportedly increasing across the area.
Officer-in-Charge Nazmul Huda Khan stated that despite their willingness, police are struggling to maintain law and order and are relying on rented local vehicles such as lagunas and CNGs for nightly patrols. He emphasized that additional vehicles would significantly improve public safety services.
