East Rajabazar trial lockdown from midnight
Dhaka North City Corporation Mayor Atiqul Islam yesterday said the city's East Rajabazar area would be put under an "experimental" lockdown from midnight tonight.
"The decision was taken as the density of Covid-19 patients increased in this area," he said at an online meeting of Covid-19 prevention committee.
The meeting decided to set up a control room at Naznin School and College in East Rajabazar with assistance from DNCC ward councilor and representatives from Directorate General of Health Services, Dhaka Metropolitan Police, A2i, E-commerce of Bangladesh (E-Cab) and others concerned.
Only one entrance and exit at Green Road beside IBA Hostel will be open while movement of all kinds of vehicles will be suspended in the area.
People living in East Rajabazar will not be permitted to go out and none from outside can enter the area as well.
