The Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) has directed telecom operators to remain shut internet services from 11am to 8pm on Saturday in the capital’s Nayapaltan where BNP is holding a rally.
The direction was issued by the Engineering and Operations Department of the BTRC.
A source from the BTRC confirmed the matter to Jago News.
However, BNP is holding a rally in front of its Nayapaltan office demanding resignation of the AL government.
Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir will present as a chief guest at the rally while the party’s Standing Committee Member Mirza Abbas will preside it.
Awami League is also holding a peace and development rally at the south gate of Baitul Mukarram National Mosque.
