The police chief handed over the oxygen concentrators to DRU President Rafiqul Islam Azad and general secretary Reaz Chowdhury from his office at Police Headquarters on Tuesday evening.
The arrangement of oxygen concentrators is a new addition to DRU measures to protect the health of its members and their families in the wake of Covid-19 pandemic, the organisation said in a press release on Wednesday evening.
