Home Adviser Lieutenant General Jahangir Alam Chowdhury (Retd) on Monday said there are no security threats ahead of Tuesday's observance of the July Mass Uprising Day.
The government is on high alert, the adviser told reporters following a meeting on law and order at the home ministry in the Bangladesh Secretariat.
He added there is no reason to panic. "By the grace of Almighty Allah, all types of events and programmes will be held peacefully with the cooperation of everyone," he said.
The adviser said the government is alert about everything for which many meetings are being held and cooperation of all concerned is sought.
In response to a question about the government's special campaign, the adviser said the ongoing special anti-criminal operation will continue until the national election.
"All efforts are being made to recover the looted weapons," he said.
Speaking about juvenile crimes, Jahangir said the trend of juvenile crime is high in the capital's Mohammadpur area.
He, however, stressed social awareness to check the crimes.
In response to another question about mob violence, the home adviser said mob violence has decreased from the past.
"It will gradually decrease to zero level. We are not giving any concession in the case of mob violence," he said.
Home Ministry Senior Secretary Nasimul Ghani, Bangladesh Ansar and Village Defense Force Director General Major General Abdul Motaleb Sazzad Mahmud, among others, were present.
Notably, the Awami League government fell on August 5, 2024 in the face of public wrath after battling 36 day-long Anti-Discrimination Movement. Later, the interim government announced to observe August 5 as the July Mass Uprising Day.
