Security in the city was beefed up to fend off any untoward incident as parliament passed the 15th amendment bill in absence of the main opposition.
Tejgaon zone deputy commissioner Mohammad Imam Hossain on Thursday said patrol in and around parliament building had also been geared up.
'The security measure has been taken as there is an apprehension of trouble on the streets over the amendment,' he told the news agency.
Shahidul Haque, officer-in-charge of Paltan police station, was on duty at Naya Paltan, where the central office of the main opposition is situated.
He said the security had been tightened around the BNP office, too. 'The police personnel have taken position at every intersection. They're also checking people, if necessary.'
Ramna zone deputy commissioner Krishnapada Roy, in-charge of Shahbagh, National Press Club and Dhaka University areas for Thursday, said police had been put on highest alert
to deal with any possible trouble.
