The directives prohibit gatherings or celebrations on roads, flyovers, rooftops, and open spaces. Public events, fireworks, firecrackers, and the release of lanterns are also banned. Access to Patenga and Parki beaches will be restricted from 6 PM on December 31 to 10 AM the following day. Licensed bars and liquor shops will remain closed during this period.
Citizens are urged to refrain from consuming narcotics, ensure separate arrangements for women at events, and maintain respect for them. CMP has also prohibited loud horns and reckless driving in the Karnaphuli Tunnel and Elevated Expressway.
