Government authorities banned the holding of rally by an organization styled Bimanbandar Golchattar Murti Protirodh Committee on the airport premises today. "It was learnt that the organization will hold a rally on the airport premises On October 24. Holding such programme is contrary to the Emergency Powers Rules, 2007," Dhaka Metropolitan Police said in issuing the prohibition.

The Metropolitan Police requested all concerned to refrain from holding such programme.

"Else, legal actions will be taken against the violators of the law," the police forewarned.

The religious group is agitating for dismantling the sculptures of mystic singer-philosopher Lalon Shah built on the Zia International Airport premises.
