Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) has imposed a ban on all kinds of fireworks and sky lanterns in the capital on the occasion of Christmas (25 December) and New Year’s Eve (31 December).
The ban will be in force from Monday midnight until further notice, DMP Commissioner Habibur Rahman said in a press release last night.
DMP Commissioner Habibur Rahman slapped the restriction under the section 28 and 29 of Dhaka Metropolitan Police Ordinance 1976 to beef up the security in the capital.
He also urged the public not to bring torches in processions during this period.
Earlier, the government banned political programmes that could hinder electoral responsibilities from December 18 until the end of the national election.
