The decision, to ease traffic congestion, was taken at meeting of the Dhaka Transport Coordination Authority (DTCA) on Wednesday.

"In keeping with the decision of the DTCA meeting, political parties will be allowed to hold rallies only at four points of the Suhrawardy Udyan instead of the streets they often clog," Quader told reporters while visiting the Gabtaoli Bus Terminal later on Wednesday.

He said that a proposal will be forwarded to the prime minister to allow political parties to hold rallies only on weekly holidays, but any decision on that is yet to be taken.
