Morale of the police should be brought back

After the formation of the interim government, their major challenge was to bring the law-and-order situation under control in the country. The police force became inactive after the fall of the last government on August 5. This inactivity is not over yet. Even though police stations in the country have been mobilized somehow, the police are practically inactive. It can be said that police patrol is not observed anywhere. And on this occasion, various types of crimes including murder, robbery, robbery are increasing in different places.

Since August 5, at least 20 people have been killed in the capital alone. Incidents of looting and robbery were also witnessed. 
Most of the murders were committed by robbers. There are very few examples of criminals being caught in these incidents. On the other hand, the traffic congestion has increased due to lack of traffic police activity on the streets of the capital. This traffic jam sometimes becomes abnormal. The streets of the capital are becoming unsafe since evening due to lack of police patrolling.

This situation cannot last long. Citizens are now asking why the law-and-order situation is not improving after more than a month. It is true, what the police have done in suppressing the movement and the behavior towards the members of this force after the movement was successful, the morale of the police has been broken. Efforts are underway to bring back their morale; But this attempt is not very successful. We feel that the morale of the police needs to be restored by any means. It is to be noted that professional criminals have also become active in the inaction of the police. 

The biggest danger is that sometimes some terrorists go berserk and kill the target without any hindrance. In a word, people's lives and properties are in uncertainty due to the deterioration of the law-and-order situation. In this situation, if law and order cannot be improved, the situation will become more fragile. A huge number of weapons were looted from the police, not all of them could be recovered. Recovery of looted weapons through special operations should therefore also be given priority. We urge the interim government to take a tougher stance. It should be remembered that if the situation is not improved, the government will not be able to maintain its popularity.
