In light of Ansar members' siege of the Secretariat to press home their demands, any form of assembly, procession or protest has been prohibited in the areas surrounding the Secretariat and interim government Chief Adviser Dr Muhammad Yunus's official residence, State Guest House Jamuna.
The Dhaka Metropolitan Police issued this public notice late on Sunday, after clashes between students and Ansar members near the Secretariat left around 40 people from both sides injured.
The DMP said that to maintain public order in response to recent events, it had exercised its authority under Section 29 of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police Ordinance to ban any form of assembly, procession or protest in the areas around the Secretariat and the chief adviser's official residence from Monday until further notice.
