The Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) has announced strict security measures and issued a set of guidelines for the observance of Ashura and Tazia processions. Participants are prohibited from carrying weapons, bags, or fireworks. Imambara organizers are advised to deploy volunteers and ensure backup power. CCTV monitoring, checkposts, and police presence—both in uniform and plainclothes—have been increased. Counter Terrorism Unit will sweep venues beforehand. Police urge public cooperation, especially as Hindu Rath Yatra will be held the same day.
