Around 15,000 members of the government forces will fan out to ensure foolproof security during the visit of Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his five chief ministers.
Special Security Forces (SSF) will lead the total security system to be coordinated with armed forces, police, and Rapid Action Battalion, said Commander M Sohail, director of legal and media wingofRab.
The Indian prime minister will be accompanied by West Bengal's Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Meghalaya's Mukul Sangma, Tripura's Manik Sarkar, Assam's Tarun Gogoi, and Mizoram's Lal Thanhawla during his two-day visit to Dhaka on September 6-7.
Commander M Sohail said SSF and President Guard Regiment (PGR) of Bangladesh along with India's Special Protection Group (SPG) will ensure the inner security while police and Rab will ensure the outer security.
Police and Rab personnel will also guard the travel routs of the Indian PM and five CMs. During their movements, transport movement on specific roads will remain suspended, said a high official of police.
Inspector General of Police (IGP) Hassan Mahmood Khandker told The Daily Star, “We are prepared to welcome the Indian PM and CMs”.
Asked if there is any security threat to the Indian PM or CMs, the IGP said, "The entire security net
has been designed considering all kinds of possibilities”.
The IGP said apart from uniformed forces, plain clothes personnel from Rab, police, Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI), and National Security Intelligence (NSI) will remain vigilant at every spot of the guests' stay and visits.
“We have planned international standard security measures with support of the latest security technologies and equipment", said the police chief. “We have drawn the highest attention to ensure security to the delegates”.
Several meetings among the senior security officials of the two countries were held in Dhaka. They discussed security and protocol issues during Manmohan's
visit.
On August 9, an advanced team of India's SPG assigned to PM's security arrived in the city and assessed various security aspects taken by Bangladeshi intelligence and law enforcement agencies.
Intelligence sources said the security team already inspected all the possible venues of the Indian prime minister's tour. They also recced Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, National Memorial at Savar, Bangabandhu Memorial Museum at Dhanmondi, Pan-Pacific Sonargaon Hotel, and the possible routes of Manmohan's motorcade.
During his stay, the India PM will visit the scheduled venues by a special car to be taken from New Delhi.
