\u201cAll have to be cautious about creating chaos by some vested groups through spreading rumours on social media ahead of Durga Puja, the greatest religious festival of Bengali Hindus,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The DG of the elite force made the call while talking to journalists after visiting Rajbathi Central Durga Puja Mandap in the district town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll the law enforcement agencies including RAB have been put on high alert so that the Durga Puja celebrations would complete in a festive and peaceful manner,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Giving details, he said that the Durga Puja will be celebrated in 31,526 puja mandaps across the country from September 28 to October 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Security surveillance and adequate lighting have been ensured at all Puja Mandaps round-the-clock as part of the government measures for peaceful celebrations of Durga Puja, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apart from the RAB, police, Ansar, Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), Bangladesh Coast Guard (BCG) and military personnel have also been entrusted with ensuring security for celebrations of the festival, he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
