Indefinite nationwide curfew declared, starts at 6pm

The government has declared an indefinite curfew from 6pm amid violence and clashes nationwide as protesters push for a one-point movement calling for the government’s resignation.

The decision was announced in a press release by Shareef Mahmud Apu, senior information officer at the Ministry of Home Affairs, on Sunday.

“A night curfew has been enforced in all divisional Sadar areas, city corporations, municipalities, industrial areas, district Sadar areas, and Upazila Sadar areas from 6pm on Sunday evening,” the statement said.
