CMP sets up central washing plant
Chattogram Metropolitan Police (CMP) has set up a washing plant at the city's Dampara Police Lines, facilitating the laundry needs of its members.
With the technical support from Chattogram-based apparel company "Smart Group", the plant has been installed at a cost of Tk 18 lakh, said police officials.
CMP bore the finance -- the plant's price of Tk 10 lakh and the installation cost of Tk 8 lakh, said CMP Deputy Commissioner (North) Bijoy Basak.
The service for one set of clothes (a shirt and pants) will cost only Tk 1, said the official.
Police said they used to wash their uniforms themselves.
Asked when the service will start, the police official said, "At the end of this month [March] hopefully."
CMP itself will operate the washing plant, said Bijoy Basak.
Mujibur Rahman, director of Smart Group, told The Daily Star, "We will provide free technical assistance to CMP to maintain regular works of the plant."
Police sources said CMP has a total of 7,000 members; of them 1,875 live in seven dormitories at Dampara Police Lines.
