The Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) has appealed to the public to help trace Awami League activists hiding in residential hotels, apartments, and student hostels.

DMP Additional Commissioner Nazrul Islam said police raids and surveillance operations are ongoing, as many activists are reportedly staying in rented flats free of charge. Citizens have been assured that any information they provide will remain confidential.

He added that several activists have already been arrested during flash processions, thanks to public cooperation. “Future arrests will help reduce such illegal gatherings. The banned political party is attempting to disrupt law and order ahead of the election, but operations against them will continue,” he said.
