Members of Ansar are taking security measures for the executive officers of all upazilas in the country.
In the context of the attack on Wahida Khanam, the executive director of Ghoraghat upazila in the northern district of Dinajpur, the issue of the security of the administration’s field officer has been discussed.
The administration officials association said there had been concerns about the safety of key officials in the field long before the attack.
Many have wondered if political influence works to create security risks.
Authorities said time was needed to find out the cause of the attack on Ghoraghat Upazila Executive Officer Wahida Khanam, who entered the dormitory of the government residence in the dead of night.
However, in the context of this incident, the issue of security has come to the fore.
Raunak Jahan, executive officer of Gabtali upazila in Bogra, a northern district, said that in many cases, many selfish people get angry when they go to implement various government decisions at the field level and thereby risk security.
“We work from the very front of the field administration. When we go to implement any kind of central decision, a lot of people get angry. We have nothing to do with it. Hence the issue of insecurity. Those here are angry or deprived. “It just came to our attention then.
State Minister for Public Administration Farhad Hossain said the government is now taking security measures at the residences of all Upazila or UNO executive officers with five members of the Ansar Battalion.
However, leaders of the administration’s BCS officials association said that long before the current attack, a conference of deputy commissioners in 2016 called for security measures for the UNOs, and the prime minister also ordered action.
Helaluddin Ahmed, chairman of the Bangladesh Administrative Services Association and chief secretary of the local government ministry, said security concerns had been raised on several occasions, such as vandalism of UN offices or vehicles. But now the issue has come up again in the attack, he said.
“The UN has taken legal action against those who carry out terrorist activities in the area and illegally occupy government places, including Balumhal and Jalmahal, in defiance of various government orders. “It’s been a long time coming, and it’s been a long time coming.
Helaluddin Ahmed added: “This is the first time I have seen UNO enter his residence at night and beat him with the intention of killing UNO. Then these security issues came to the fore.”
Ali Imam Majumder, former secretary of the cabinet department, served as ONE for seven years in various upazilas in the early eighties. Over time, he thinks, the safety risks for field management work have increased.
“We worked. The environment was not like that then. Now the context of terrorism has changed dramatically around the world. It is reflected in our society. Anger was there then. But the expression of anger has become much more violent now. I worked. But now when I bring in the police, they also attack the police. “
In many cases, political influence, especially the ruling party, has been blamed for security risks.
Helaluddin Ahmed said that many who create security risks use politics.
“Influencers or those who do illegal things, but politics is not their purpose, they use politics. In order for them to do illegal things, they come to the fore under different political banners. Whether they are terrorists or pirates, they are under political banners. Keep doing things. “
Police said some of the detainees suspected of being involved in the attack on UNO in Ghoraghat were associated with the Juba League.
Several government ministers also had to speak on the issue.
They said that no political identity would be taken into account when taking action against the attackers. BBC
