DHAKA, Nov. 18 ( Xinhua) -- Bangladesh has tightened New Year's Eve celebrations in capital Dhaka.

Emerging from a meeting on the security issues during the celebrations of Christmas Day and the New Year, Bangladeshi Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan, in a press briefing in Dhaka on Sunday, instructed Dhaka dwellers not to use public places and rooftops to celebrate New Year's Eve.
