The Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) yesterday imposed ban on holding meeting and carrying sticks, explosives and firearms in the city's Paltan, Motijheel, Baitul Mukarram, Ramna and adjacent areas from this morning. DMP Commissioner Benazir Ahmed in a press release said he imposed the ban as three organisations -- Shariyah Ain Bastobayon Committee, Sarbodalio Islami Oikya Parishad and Islamic Front -- called rallies at Muktangon and at the same time. The DMP commissioner said he imposed the ban from the possibilities of the deterioration of law and order situation causing public insecurity. Sources said the three organisations have called the rallies at Muktangon on the issue of Women Development Policy.
