The government has imposed a ban on all political activities of the ruling Awami League, citing fears that members might be secretly planning acts of violence. In response, law enforcement agencies across the country have been placed on high alert. The police Special Branch warned of potential unrest—both online and offline—between July 29 and August 8, including possible attacks on public and private institutions. A confidential directive has been issued to all police units instructing heightened surveillance and enhanced security measures nationwide.
