Almost all the high-ranking officers of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) are burdened with hectic schedules due to manpower shortage.From the level of assistant commissioner (AC) to DMP commissioner over 100 posts out of a total 258 are vacant in the DMP administration despite several major reshuffles over the last two months.DMP sources said many officers have to rush to several workplaces in different parts of the capital for discharging their duties and officers can spare very little time to stay at their respective offices resulting in making a mess of everything.One additional commissioner is working now against the demand of three posts, four joint commissioners against five, 15 deputy commissioners (DCs) against 25, 19 additional deputy commissioners (ADCs) against 38, and 116 assistant commissioners (ACs) against 186, DMP sources said.DMP has a total 258 posts from the level of AC to DMP Commissioner but only 156 officers were posted while 102 posts are still lying vacant.During a visit to DC Motor Transport (MT) in the second week of April it was found that DC (MT) Mosleh Uddin had to rush to DC (north) office at Uttara, DC (MT) office at Rajarbagh and DC (Discipline) office at Minto Road.Amid severe traffic jam in the capital he had to spend most of his working time on his way to three different offices and besides he had to attend several meetings almost every day, his office sources said.He told The Daily Star that he had to remain busy till 12:00pm every day.DC (MT) office sources said he could spend less than one and a half hours at his office. Usually he attends the DC (north) office in the morning at Uttara and then he reaches the DC (MT) office at Rajarbagh at around 1:00 pm where he has lunch and work for about one and a half hours and then rushes to the DC (Discipline) office at Minto road.Some high officials said each high-ranking officer is tasked with huge workloads. The officers have to remain busy from 9:00am to evening each day.City people said, muggers, dope gangs, extortionists and grabbers with protection from influential ruling party men are now more active causing slide in law and order in the capital.Conceding the fact the DMP Commissioner asked law enforcers to launch a special drive against criminals and recover arms.Against the backdrop of criminal activities the special drive, which started on April 23 midnight ended on April 30 with little success in recovering arms and detaining top-listed criminals.During the drive DMP Commissioner himself expressed dissatisfaction over the achievement of the drive and said he would further intensify the drive.Sources close to the police administration said the government is looking for the officers loyal to ruling party for the posts in the DMP administration.However, DMP and police headquarters sources said due to cadre composition rules the department could not fill up 75 vacant posts of additional superintendent of police though 88 officers of 21st and 22nd BCS batches have already been selected for those posts for long.Promotion process of 1,999 police personnel from the level of ASI to Additional IGP have remained stopped while a total of 3493 posts are still vacant in the department, sources added.
