Only 13 out of 49 police stations under Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) have got their own buildings, State Minister for Home Asaduzzaman Khan told Parliament.
He came up with the disclosure on Wednesday while responding to a scripted question from AKM Maidul Islam (Kurigram-3) in the House.
The routine works of 10 police stations are being done in temporary police camps, the minister said.
Meanwhile, four police stations are being operated in abandoned houses, six police stations in community centres, 12 in rented houses and two on the land of other government agencies — Airport Authority and Bangladesh Railway.
The minister said the government purchased two plots of land for Sher-e-Bangla Nagar and Demra police stations in 2013.
An approval has been given to build a building for Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station, he added.
Responding to a starred question from M Shalim Uddin Tarafdar (Naogaon-3), Asaduzzaman said the government has a plan to enhance manpower in all the police stations across the country.
