Eid ul Fitar is coming very soon so its the full festive season in Bangladesh.

Eid ul Fitar is coming very soon so its the full festive season in Bangladesh. People are very busy in shopping and that's why all the shopping mall has been decorated so nicely and they r offering so many items as a gift of raffle draw.

When people are in a generous mood to spend money prior to Eid-ul-Fitr, as if they are possessed, there are others who look for chances to waylay shoppers.

Reportedly, as many as 20 such criminal gangs known as Ogyan (unconscious) and Molom (ointment) parties, with a combined force of about 200 members, are operating in the capital city and on its outskirts alone. How many of these gangs are active in other cities and on bus routes or railways is yet to be known.

A combination of muggers and robbers, these gangs have taken their criminal art to extreme ruthlessness. Robbers usually spare their victims' life if they face no resistance but these two types of criminals rely on the application of sedatives or poisonous substances first in order to incapacitate their victims and then snatch money and other valuables. They use both cunningness and guiles to trap the persons they target.

This year the gangs have not been able to conduct many a successful operation as yet. Credit goes to the law-enforcement agencies which busted a major hideout of these gangs last year. Now they seem to be extra cautious in carrying on their operations.

Nevertheless, according to the report, they are very much active and perhaps waiting for the mad rush to peak up when they have greater chances of success. Members of the Ogyan party usually target their prey on long-route public buses. People will soon move out of the capital for their village homes and that is the most propitious time for them. However, both Molom and Ogyan parties prowl on their prey whenever people carry money within the city or beyond its limit. They pretend to be co-passengers and build friendly rapport soon to offer light snacks or fruits.

Thus, the unsuspecting passengers fall victim to this party. The Molom party operates aggressively at times causing death to their victims.

So there is a need for greater vigilance by the law-enforcement agencies and at the same time making people aware of the danger of eating anything from unknown people, however, genial they may be. There must be an arrangement at the bus terminals to warn passengers of this danger over loudspeakers and then when on board a bus, the message must be conveyed by bus operators as well. If passengers are alert, gang members stand little chance of duping them.

Yet the need for surveillance at the bus terminals and railway stations can play a vital role. If there are closed-circuit cameras at such points, the criminal gangs can easily be detected from their suspicious movement. If their dens can be busted, the threat from them will disappear - at least for the time being. The news that a few such gang members have pushed passengers down from running trains does not speak of provision for the minimum security on railways. The railway authority should beef up security on trains to root out such crimes.

so lastly I would like to alert you all who are going to spend your Eid vacation with your family in a village, please be very careful in bus or train or launch. And who are businessmen, deal with money regularly will also have to be more cautious about dealing money, we should not believe any stranger so easily, we should avoid gossiping with others while traveling, we should not eat anything provide by strangers and we should avoid deep sleeping? Last but not the least, our self-common sense can protect many of us from being harmed by anyone.

So stay safe and enjoy this festive with your family
