The government has banned the militant outfit “Allahr Dal” as the activities of the group have been considered as threats for public security.

The Public Security Division under the home ministry issued a gazette notification in this regard yesterday.

“The government thinks that the activities of militant outfit named “Allahr Dal” are contradictory to the country’s peace and discipline. As the activities of the group have been considered as threats for public security, its activities have been banned in Bangladesh,” the notification reads.

The order will be implemented immediately, it said.

The gazette notification came three days after Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal hinted of banning the militant group on November 3.

In September, police sent a list of 33 militant outfits -- including “Allahr Dal” and “Neo-JMB” -- to the home ministry to ban their activities.
