If any political party's members gather without prior permission the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) will take action without any hesitation, said the DMP Commissioner Habibur Rahman.

 "Law and order situation is our main concern, we wouldn't allow anything harmful for public security and safety centering national polls," said the newly appointed DMP commissioner at a press briefing on Monday.

 "Election is a democratic process," he added.

 Regarding the US visa restrictions he said it would not affect any visa policy within the DMP as it is the US's internal matter.

 Stating that crime patterns have changed over time the DMP commissioner added that curbing crimes has become a challenge. However, the DMP is more efficient compared to the law enforcement agencies in many other countries, he added.

 He also said, traffic congestion is not the problem of only the traffic police, other agencies are also involved here.

 "We see gigantic infrastructures like metro rail and elevated expressway, but the roads have not increased, it's still only 78 square kilometers," he added.
