Chattogram Metropolitan Police has imposed a 30-day ban on processions, meetings, human chains, and road rallies in the Chattogram port area starting today.
This decision aims to ensure the smooth operation of import-export activities at the port. All such gatherings are prohibited for the next 30 days starting from Saturday, that is today.
A public notice issued by CMP commissioner Hasib Aziz on Thursday evening stated that all types of gatherings, including processions, meetings, human chains, and road meetings organized by political, labor, or social organizations, are banned in the port area of Chattogram. This ban includes areas such as Barak Building intersection, Nimtala intersection, 3 Naswar Jetty Gate, Customs intersection, Saltgola crossing, for the next 30 days starting from next Saturday.
The notice explained that the CMP commissioner had made this decision under the authority of Section 30 of the CMP Ordinance, 1978.
It highlighted the significance of Chattogram Port as a vital hub for Bangladesh鈥檚 economy, handling the majority of the country鈥檚 import and export operations.
With thousands of vehicles passing through the port daily to transport essential goods and materials, maintaining smooth traffic flow is crucial. However, events like processions and meetings in the port area often lead to traffic congestion, hampering the port鈥檚 operations and impacting the national economy negatively.
