Home Minister Asaduzzzaman Kamal urged the city dwellers not to bring out their cars if not essential as the five-day Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) began here on Saturday.
The Home Minister came up with the request while talking to reporters after visiting the security system in the South Plaza of Bangladesh Jatiya Sangsad, one of the venues of the conference.
Replying to a query, Asaduzzaman said the recent militant incidents are not a threat to the IPU as law enforcers have taken necessary security measures.
The five-day 136th assembly of the IPU began with the participation of 1,348 delegates, including 53 Speakers, Deputy Speakers and 209 women parliamentarians of 120 countries.
Meanwhile, the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) has made some city roads off-limit to traffic to ensure the smooth movement of the foreign delegates. As the HSC examination begins on Sunday, the Home Minister urged the city dwellers to help the students reach the examination centers in time and keep the traffic system under control.
