The Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) on Thursday imposed a ban on rallies, processions, demonstrations and gatherings in front of the chief justice’s residence, the Judges Complex, the main entrance to the Supreme Court, the Jam-e-Mosque gate, the main gates of International Crimes Tribunal 1 and 2, and the Bangladesh Institute of Judicial Administration (Bija).
The restriction will remain in place until further notice, according to a public notification issued by DMP Commissioner SM Sazzat Ali.
The ban has been imposed in the wake of the current situation and to maintain law and order.
“The ban has been enforced under Section 29 of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police Ordinance (Ordinance No III/76) to maintain discipline in light of the prevailing situation,” the notification said.
It also requested everyone again to refrain from blocking roads in the name of protest, as such activities cause severe traffic congestion in the capital.
