News - Ban on public assembly in front of Proshika Bhaban in city’s Pallabi

Dhaka, Mar 10 (UNB) - Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) imposed ban on any kind of meeting, rally and procession in front of “Proshika Bhaban” and adjoining area in Pallabi from 6:00 pm today (Wednesday) until further instruction.

Official sources said DMP Commissioner AKM Shahidul Haq imposed the ban under sections 28 and 29 of DMP Act (Act-III/76).

There is a longstanding dispute over control of “Proshika”, a leading NGO in the country, between former chairman Dr Kazi Faruque Ahmed and the present governing body. On a number of occasions in last several months, officers and employees of rival groups locked into altercation, chase and counter-chase on the road in front of Proshika Bhaban creating panic among the people in the area.

The DMP Commissioner imposed the ban today (Wednesday) apprehending deterioration of law and order and possible rioting between the two feuding groups as well as to maintain peace and protect public property in the area.

Earlier, on March 4, police took control of the head office building of Proshika evicting the employees of the present governing body to avoid any untoward situation.
