DMP bans rallies, processions in areas adjacent to Turag River

Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) has imposed a ban on rallies, processions, demonstrations, and gatherings at Kamarpur, Abdullahpur, Uttara Sector-10, and adjacent areas along the southern and western banks of the Turag River.
The ban was imposed following violent clashes between two groups at the Biswa Ijtema ground in Tongi on Wednesday that left two people dead and many injured.
The restriction, effective from 2 pm Wednesday, will remain in place until further notice, according to a public notification issued by DMP Commissioner Sheikh Md Sajjat Ali.
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, it said.
