Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed on Thursday urged law enforcement agencies to quickly fulfill public expectations by earning the trust of citizens.
“After nearly 15 years, a transparent election has brought a political government to power and public expectations are very high. We intend to implement our election manifesto promptly to meet these expectations,” he said.
The minister made the remarks during a views-exchange meeting with heads of different departments and agencies under the Home Ministry at the Bangladesh Secretariat.

He emphasised that democratic reforms reflecting public demand should be given top priority across the police and other law enforcement bodies.
Minister Salahuddin also underscored the importance of recruiting necessary personnel, stressing that coordinated efforts along with new recruitment would help achieve the ministry’s objectives.
He called for a detailed plan to modernise the police and other law enforcement agencies, and instructed department and agency heads to submit recommendations and proposals to guide the planning and implementation, ensuring proper prioritisation of reforms.
