As the schedule for the 13th National Parliamentary Election is set to be announced on Thursday, the interim government urged people to refrain from holding any rallies or gatherings.
All kinds of rallies and gatherings will be prohibited in the city once the election schedule is announced, said Talebur Rahman, deputy commissioner (media) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) on Wednesday.
Legal action will be taken against anyone found violating this directive, it said.
DMP has also sought the cooperation of all stakeholders to maintain law and order during this period.
