Home Affairs Adviser Jahangir Alam assured that comprehensive 24-hour security will be in place throughout the Durga Puja celebrations this year.

Speaking during a visit to Ramakrishna Mission Ashram in Narayanganj’s Missionpara, he praised the arrangements, calling them “well-organized with no cause for concern.”

“Durga Puja is a sacred religious festival, and its sanctity must be preserved. We have taken steps to ensure that all faiths can work together harmoniously. There are no security threats, as CCTV surveillance has been installed at every site,” he said.

Alam added that coordination meetings with puja committees have been held, ensuring round-the-clock security measures from the outset of festivities. Alongside government security forces, volunteer groups will also provide support. From September 24, Ansar personnel will be deployed.

To further support the celebrations, the government has allocated Tk 3.2 million across Narayanganj puja mandaps, along with 500 kilograms of rice for each mandap. Alam expressed optimism that the festival would further strengthen communal harmony in the country.
