The Police Headquarters on Saturday called upon individuals and organisations to inform local police and administration before taking any initiative to distribute relief materials and provide other services to people.
The Police Headquarters made the call to prevent unplanned gathering of people to collect relief materials and thus prevent the spread of coronavirus across the country.
“We’ve been passing through a crucial time. Many people and organisations have come forward to help people. People's gatherings have created an unwanted situation in many places during relief distribution,” said Assistant Inspector General (AIG) of the Police Headquarters (media) Md Sohel Rana.
"We call upon those intending to distribute relief materials or provide services to people to inform local police and administration before taking such an initiative," he said adding that police will extend all-out cooperation in this regard.
