Bangladesh Bank on Saturday handed over 15 counterfeit note detecting machines to the representatives of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) to set at 15 cattle hats in the city ahead of the Eid-ul-Azha.

Executive Director of BB, Das Gupta Ashok Kumar handed over the machines to the Senior Assistant Commissioner (DB) DMP, Mashiur Rahman at a simple ceremony at BB office.

BB provides a total of 80 machines worth about Tk 350,000 to the law enforcers for checking the currencies across the country where people will get services free of charges.

General manager of BB M Abdur Rahim, general manager of Currency Management Department Mojubur Rahman, DGM Khurshid Alam, currency officer Saiful Islam and other representatives of DMP were present on the occasion.

“We are responsible to circulate the notes and similarly we are responsible to save the notes in any way,” said Das Gupta Ashok Kumar while addressing the event.

He said it will be quite dangerous for the economy if the people lose their trust over the notes.
