The Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) has banned all forms of public gathering at and around the central office of Jatiya Party (JaPa) in the capital on Saturday to maintain public order.
The information was shared in a public notice signed by DMP Commissioner Md Mainul Hasan on Friday.
The decision came hours after demonstrations and counter-demonstrations were called at the site by Jatiya Party and a student platform.
On Thursday evening, unidentified miscreants set fire to the Jatiya Party (JP) central office in Dhaka’s Kakrail area.
According to eyewitnesses, a group of individuals—many wearing helmets and armed with sticks—entered the JP office through the main entrance. Chanting slogans, they tore down banners and festoons, vandalised furniture, and then set fire to the building’s front and several rooms inside.
