DMP bans rallies, processions around CJ’s residence, Judges Complex

Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) has imposed a ban on rallies, processions, demonstrations and gatherings around Chief Justice’s residence, Judges Complex, the main gate of Bangladesh Supreme court, Mazar Gate, Jam-e-Mosque gate, the main gates of International Crimes Tribunal 1 and 2 and Bangladesh Institute of Judicial Administration (BIJA) effective from Thursday.

The ban will remain valid until further notice, according to a public notice signed by DMP Commissioner SM Sazzat Ali.

The ban will be enforced under Section 29 of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police Ordinance (Ordinance No. III/76) to maintain discipline in light of the prevailing situation, it said.

It also requested all again to refrain from blocking roads in the name of protests as such activities cause severe traffic congestion in the capital.
