The curfew will be effective in Dhaka Metropolitan area, all divisional headquarters, municipalities, industrial areas, district and upazila headquarters.

Earlier on July 19, the government imposed nationwide curfew amid the violence centring the quota reform protests and later, relaxed it in several phases.
