In preparation for the upcoming nationwide hunger protest, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) police command has taken proactive measures by deploying 4,200 officers throughout the capital. This substantial deployment underscores the command’s commitment to maintaining peace and safety during the protest.

In addition to the officers, explosive ordnance device experts have been strategically positioned at key locations to enhance security measures. This precautionary step aims to ensure the safety of both protesters and the general public.
