The Bangladesh Army has published a list of contact numbers for citizens to seek the security force's help during the turmoil in the aftermath of Sheikh Hasina's resignation.
"...in the current situation, members of the Bangladesh Army are deployed to provide overall security of public life and property and important government facilities," the armed force said in a statement issued today (7 August).
It requested the public to contact the nearest army camp in order to seek their aid in tackling vandalism, mayhem and death threats.
The army, however, urged citizens to refrain from misleading the army by providing false information and spreading rumours.
