The government is deploying army personnel and border guards alongside the police to strictly enforce rules of the countrywide hard lockdown starting from July 01.
No movement pass will be issued to citizens this time to force them to stay indoors during complete lockdown in a bid to contain the virus spread.
Cabinet secretary Khandker Anwarul Islam made the disclosures while talking to the mass media at the secretariat after the weekly cabinet meeting on Monday.
"No movement pass will be issued this time. People will have to stay home and only be allowed to go outdoors for emergencies like medicare or attending funerals."
Apart from the police, armed forces and Border Guard Bangladesh personnel will be deployed across the country to ensure proper implementation of the lockdown and adherence to government regulations.
"They will be allowed to take all types of measures to ensure the upcoming week-long lockdown," Mr Islam mentioned.
Asked about any likelihood of extending the hard lockdown, he said it would be decided later considering the overall coronavirus situation.
The directives in detail over the hard lockdown may be released today (Tuesday).
However, public transport went off the streets on the first day of the three-day "stricter lockdown on a limited scale", causing immense sufferings to the public, especially the homebound ones.
The recent alarming surge in viral infections and deaths prompted the authorities to go for lockdown.
Following the government's directives not to allow movement of public transport, Dhaka city witnessed on Monday the dominance of rickshaws, motorbikes and private cars on streets.
Office-goers underwent immense sufferings for the absence of mass transport as they were compelled to pay extras to rickshaw-pullers to reach workstations.
Meanwhile, all the shopping malls and markets have remained shut until the issuance of further notice.
However, kitchen markets were operating as usual.
The FE found the dominance of rickshaws and private cars on thoroughfares in the metropolis.
Those who came out for emergencies had to wait a bit longer to get traffic while many were seen walking to their respective offices or other places of work.
They said rickshaw fare was exorbitant on the day. Rented motor bike fare was also higher than normal.
"I had to pay Tk 100 in rickshaw fare to reach my Motijheel office from Jatrabari," said private job-holder Hafizur Rahman in Dhaka's financial district.
Another passenger Shajahan said he had to pay Tk 250 to a rented motorbiker for travelling from Mirpur-10 to Motijheel which is usually Tk 150 on any normal day.
When approached, rickshaw-pullers argued that they were not charging exorbitantly high fares, rather logical, from passengers.
Although there was no public bus on streets, traffic signals at major places like Farmgate, Shahbagh and Elephant Road were heavy with traffic for thick presence of private cars.
Centring lockdown, home trippers' exodus continued as all exit points, including Babubazar, Gabtoli, Uttara and Signboard areas, witnessed a desperate movement of people to their respective districts near Dhaka.
