Security Considerations in Dhaka
Dhaka’s large shopping malls have multiple floors, numerous entrances and basement parking, so the security plan for each store has to be built in coordination with the mall management’s own security arrangements. Shopper pressure rises in the weeks before Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha and around Pohela Boishakh, so longer working hours and the need for additional officers are set in advance for these periods.
Office buildings in Gulshan, Banani and Baridhara see regular comings and goings of multinational companies, development organizations and foreign representatives. Officers on duty at reception desks here must handle visitor registration, ID checks and pre-approved guest lists fluently in English. Residential towers need clear rules for controlling the entry of domestic workers, drivers and delivery staff.
Traffic congestion in Dhaka means that even short trips take a long time, which affects shift changes and the planning for sending relief officers. The Metro Rail and the Elevated Expressway have made travel easier on some routes, but schedules for each site are still set with officers’ travel routes in mind. The actions to take during monsoon waterlogging are also set out in the Post Orders.
