Ahead of Eid-ul-Azha, the city-dwellers have started returning home to celebrate Eid with their families and relatives. The Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) has requested to follow 12 instructions to return home safely from Dhaka.

He said, on the occasion of the upcoming Eid-ul-Azha, I would like to extend my best wishes to all on behalf of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police. The Dhaka Metropolitan Police is seeking the sincere cooperation of the city dwellers to ensure the security of the citizens' lives, the endless joy of Eid and to maintain peace and order.
The instructions are:
- Passengers cannot be picked up by stopping or stopping buses inside and outside the long distance and inter-district bus terminals in Dhaka metropolis. Passengers can take a bus seat inside the terminal. The concerned bus representatives have to take care of this.
