security of the rural community we will get to the bottom of the sources of crimes and take tough actions accordingly," Sohel Taj told The Daily Star.
The home ministry is also planning to strengthen the ongoing anti-crime drive in the major cities to improve the law and order situation as per the direction of the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
The ministry has already issued directives to the concerned people to prepare necessary strategies in this regard, sources said.
"We will have to introduce computer facilities to modernize the police force in a bid to reduce crimes," the state minister said adding, "If all the land, sea and air ports including the immigra tion of the Zia International Airport can be brought under computer network it will be much easier to control crimes."
He said they have plans to link the network directly with the Interpol, FBI and other global forces to tackle regional terrorism and militancy as well as country's internal security.
The state minister said they would install security cameras at the airports and make fingerprints mandatory for all before leaving the country.
He said, improvement of law and order is a must to reach the target 'Vision 2021' pronounced by the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in
her election manifesto and to achieve this goal a digitally controlled police force is must.
Sohel Taj said his prime task in the ministry would be lo work for the betterment of police force and to this end he would increase the salaries and wages of police force and provide them logistic support.
