The security of the presidential building of Bangladesh is strengthened

Security has been beefed up today after an attempt to enter the presidential building of Bangladesh 'Banga Bhavan' on Tuesday night demanding the President's Md. Sahabuddin resignation and an attack on policemen.

In addition to barricades, barbed wire fences have been erected in front of the main gate of Banga Bhavan, which was not there yesterday.

A large number of APBN, BGB, police and army personnel were seen armed in front of the main gate of Banga Bhavan on Wednesday (October 23). APC, riot cars with water cannons have been kept ready.

It can be seen from the ground, although no angry crowd or agitators were seen in the Bangabhaban area since Wednesday morning, the issue of security tightening was clear. After yesterday's incident, increased presence of media personnel was seen in monitoring the situation today.

Motijheel Division Deputy Police Commissioner (DC) asked about the overall security system of Bangabhaban area. Shahriar Ali said that an unexpected and unexpected incident happened last night. The police were attacked. Several policemen were injured. Two people, including a student, were shot, and three others were injured.

He said, security has been strengthened in this area today based on monitoring and assessment of the overall situation. However, no agitators or angry mobs have been seen so far today. But we are cautious. Apart from police, APBN, BGB, army personnel are deployed.

DMP's Media and Public Relations Department Deputy Commissioner (DC) Muhammad Talebur Rahman said, according to DMP's instructions, extra security has been strengthened in Bangabhaban area today. So far the situation and traffic is normal.

Sheikh Hasina fled to India on August 5 after resigning under fire from the students. In his address to the nation after his escape, President Sahabuddin said, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has submitted her resignation letter to the President and I have accepted it.

However, in an interview recently given to the editor of Manbzamin, Matiur Rahman, the President said that he had heard that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had resigned, but he did not have any documentary evidence or documents in this regard. The President said, I have failed despite many attempts (to collect the resignation letter). He might not have time.

After that, those who led the fall of the government became angry again. Hasnat Abdullah, one of the coordinators of the anti-discrimination student movement, gave a post about this on Facebook on Monday night.

In the caption of the post, he wrote, the mass gathering of students to demand the ban of the terrorist Chhatra League and the resignation of President Chuppur, a friend of fascism. After that on Tuesday from 3:30 pm, the angry crowd protested in front of Banga Bhavan with different banners. Raised slogans demanding the resignation of the President.

The situation was normal till 8 pm on Tuesday. But then a group of agitators repeatedly tried to enter Bangabhaban. A group of protesters unsuccessfully tried to break the security barricade in front of the Banga Bhavan.

However, due to the strict stance of the army and other law and order forces, none of them could enter inside.

Later, to bring the situation under control, the police dispersed the protesters by throwing lathicharge and sound grenades. Such an exciting situation was created on Tuesday night from 8:30 pm. The protestors chanted slogans demanding the president's resignation, including 'fake', 'fake'.

Then around 10 pm the protesters attacked the police and the police vehicle. Several policemen were injured in the attack.
