Sadikur Rahman Sunny, a student from the Department of Mass Communication and Journalism, said that crimes like rape and theft have suddenly increased in the country. Ordinary people are terrified. The interim government should immediately bring criminals under the law and restore law and order. As citizens of the state, we want to live safely. The state must ensure the safety of our lives.

Ahmed Hossain Jony, from the Department of Economics, said that the current law and order situation and security threats in Bangladesh have reached an alarming level. The increasing criminal activities, political instability, and the threat of various terrorist attacks are creating a sense of insecurity in citizens' lives. It is the state's responsibility to protect citizens' fundamental rights and security. To address the growing security threats, it is urgent for the government to take strict action.
