DHAKA: Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) commissioner M Asaduzzaman Mia said permission for holding rallies of Awami League and BNP on January 5 will be given after completion of security assessment centering the programs.

‘Law enforcement agencies are assessing the matters whether there is any fear of insecurity and violence. Decision of the DMP will be given later on Sunday,’ the DMP boss said.
