The Dhaka Metropolitan Police on Saturday once again issued a public notice prohibiting all types of gatherings and processions at the chief adviser鈥檚 official residence, State Guest House Jamuna, and the Bangladesh Secretariat and adjacent areas.
The ban was imposed for maintaining public order and ensuring security for the chief adviser.
The notice said that the ban would remain in effect until further notice.
The notice said that no processions and gatherings would be allowed in the areas surrounding Jamuna, including the Hotel Intercontinental intersection, Kakrail Masjid intersection, Officers鈥� Club intersection and Minto Road areas.
The notice was issued a day after an overnight sit-in in front of the chief adviser鈥檚 official residence demanding a ban on the politics of the Awami League at the night following Thursday.
The protesters, mostly leaders and activists of the National Citizen Party, continued the demonstration there until Friday afternoon before moving to the Shahbagh intersection to block the busy intersection in the city.
Later, other political and student groups joined the blockade at the intersection, disrupting traffic movement in the area. The blockade continued on Saturday.
The DMP imposed a ban on gatherings and processions in the same areas on March 13 this year and on August 26 in the past year.
