The Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) in a statement yesterday requested all not to block roads in the name of realizing demands that caused untold public suffering.
“In the larger interest of the esteemed city dwellers and for the sake of proper traffic management, Dha-ka Metropolitan Police has made a special request to all concerned to refrain from blocking roads unnec-essarily,” the statement said.
Various groups including some vested ones have been blocking roads in the capital at different times in the name of protests to realize their demands, it said.
“This is causing severe traffic congestion in Dhaka metropolis, as a result of which school-college, uni-versity students and office-going passengers are facing serious inconveniences. Serious disruption is also being created in the transportation of foreign-going passengers and sick patients for urgent needs,” it also said.
The Traffic Division of DMP is making intense efforts to reduce traffic congestion.
“However, incidents of blocking roads for any reason are causing widespread public suffering,” it said.
In such a situation, and for the sake of proper traffic management, Dhaka Metropolitan Police has made a special request to all concerned to refrain from blocking roads unnecessarily.
