Govt imposes indefinite curfew from 6pm

The government has imposed curfew for an indefinite period from 6pm today in all divisional cities including the Dhaka metropolitan city, city corporations, municipalities, industrial zones, district and upazila headquarters.

The decision was taken after several clashes across the country during the movement called by the anti-discrimination student movement on Sunday (August 4).

Md Sharif Mahmud Apu, senior information officer, Ministry of Home Affairs confirmed the matter.

The notification said curfew has been imposed indefinitely starting from 6pm Sunday in Dhaka and other divisional cities, district towns and all city corporations, and it will remain in effect until further announcement.

Earlier, the authority announced curfew from 12am on July 26. Later, the government relaxed the curfew gradually. However, the curfew has been imposed again today.
