The authorities will restrict traffic on key streets in Dhaka from Friday morning to Saturday evening when foreign guests will move during the celebrations of Bangabandhu’s birth centenary and the golden jubilee of independence.
Dhaka Metropolitan Police announced the decision in a notice on Thursday.
Traffic will be completely halted for some time on the main roads due to the VVIP movement, said Iftekhairul Islam, a DMP spokesman.
Abu Saleh Mohammad Rayhan, joint commissioner at DMP’s Traffic Department, apologised to all for temporary problems and urged them to follow the directives, reports bdnews24.com.
