Indefinite curfew underway across country

An indefinite curfew is underway in all divisional cities including the Dhaka metropolitan city, city corporations, municipalities, industrial zones, district and upazila headquarters.

Earlier, the government imposed the curfew for an indefinite period from 6pm yesterday and it will remain in effect until further announcement.

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

The Ministry of Home Affairs issued a notification on Sunday (August 4).

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.
