"Our job is to strengthen intelligence surveillance. We are giving importance to that issue. We hope that you will see a better situation in a few days," he said. The DB chief called upon all to inform them if anyone does any crimes.
"If you have any information that can cause sabotage, help the DB by providing information. Necessary measures will be taken while keeping your identity secret," he said.
The DB chief said they are determined to arrest the identified criminals and expose them to justice.
"As part of that, we have already been able to arrest a significant number of robbers, and habitual criminals," he said. Mallick stated that small crimes help big crimes to grow. "Therefore, we have adopted a zero tolerance policy for any crime and criminal," he said.
However, DB's regular operations to prevent theft, robbery and robbery will continue, he
said.
