Police disperse crowd, reinforce ban on rally near Jamuna: DMP
It has criticised efforts to undermine the ban
Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) has said it reinforced a ban on rallies around Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus' official residence Jamuna, peacefully dispersing a group of people gathered overnight.
According to a DMP statement, some people tried to create a law and order situation through an illegal gathering near the Jamuna while policemen tactfully dispersed them without using brutal forces and took the situation under control.
The statement said that the DMP earlier issued a public notice slapping a ban on all types of meetings, gatherings, processions, and demonstrations in front of the Jamuna and adjacent areas which is still in force.

It, however, criticised efforts to undermine the ban calling such activities undesirable.
"All concerned are requested once again to abide by the public notice issued by the DMP to refrain from spreading unnecessary confusion on the above mentioned matter," the statement read.
Yesterday (30 June), a group of people, including the injured of last year's July movement, staged a sit-in programme in front of the chief adviser's official residence demanding the immediate issuance of the July Declaration to confirm a constitutional recognition of the uprising.
