Amid a wave of recent arson attacks, the Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB) has directed all airports to strengthen security and surveillance measures. In a letter sent to every airport on Tuesday, the regulator instructed authorities to deploy the maximum number of security personnel, conduct thorough security checks for everyone, and emphasise fire safety preparedness. Three weeks later, on Nov 6, an integrated Ansar member responsible for security, Zenarul Islam, was caught at Hangar Gate No. Amid the Awami League’s protest programme, a new wave of arson and unrest has swept across the country in the past three days. CAAB officials said the letter aims to ensure maximum security at all airports during this volatile period.
