Fireworks, sky lanterns banned in Dhaka: DMP

In order to enhance security in the capital, Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) has announced a ban on all fireworks and sky lanterns during the Christmas and New Year's Eve celebrations. 

The ban will be in effect from midnight tonight until further notice, as stated by DMP Commissioner Habibur Rahman in a press release on Monday night. 

Additionally, the public has been requested to refrain from carrying torches in processions during this time. 

This ban comes after the government's decision to prohibit political events that could disrupt electoral obligations from December 18 until the conclusion of the national election.
