A total of 42 members of the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) and police were killed in attacks by angry mobs during the recent quota reform movement.
The Inspector General of Police (IGP) Md Mainul Islam said this after visiting the injured police members at Rajarbagh Central Police Hospital in the capital on Sunday.
He said two RAB members and forty police personnel were killed and many police members were also injured in attacks by angry mobs when they went to suppress the quota reform movement.
A total of 599 out of 639 police stations in the country resumed operation partially today, thanks to the assistance of the armed forces and Ansar members.
Of 110 police stations in the metropolitan areas, activities have started in 97, Police Headquarters says in a press statement.
General diaries were filed and some internal work was completed at the police stations. However, police did not start patrolling, police officials said.
Members of the force along with students and locals are clearing the debris as many police stations were vandalised or torched during the recent violence across the country.
Although many police stations resumed operation, law enforcers of many of the stations are yet to return to duty. They demanded assurances of safety before going back to work.
