Chittagong Metropolitan Police this evening deployed additional law enforcers in the strategic points of the city to avert any untoward incidents.
The move was taken as activists of Jamaat-e-Islami and Islami Chhatra Shibir torched three vehicles including an ambulance in the city
hours into a review petition of Abdul Quader Mollah was rejected, Mostaq Ahmed, additional deputy commissioner of CMP, told The Daily Star.
The strategic points include Shah Amanat International Airport and state-owned fuel depots - Padma, Meghna and Jamuna, the official added.
