Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) has announced special traffic arrangements for Tuesday, February 17, 2026, due to the oath-taking ceremonies of newly elected Members of Parliament at the National Parliament Building and newly formed cabinet members at the South Plaza. A large public gathering is expected in the area, prompting temporary traffic restrictions from Khejurbagan Crossing to Manik Mia Avenue and from July Memorial Museum (Ganabhaban Crossing) to Urojahaj Crossing along Lake Road.
To minimize inconvenience, DMP’s traffic division has outlined several diversion routes. Vehicles from Mirpur Road toward Farmgate will be redirected via Defence Gap, China-Bangladesh Friendship Conference Center, and Bijoy Sarani Crossing. Similar diversions apply for traffic from Dhanmondi, Asad Gate, Indira Road, and the Elevated Expressway. Drivers are advised to avoid Manik Mia Avenue and Lake Road between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m.
DMP has requested full cooperation from city residents to ensure smooth traffic flow during the ceremonies and advised using alternative routes to avoid congestion.
