Temporary Secretariat entry passes—except for those issued to government officials and employees working in the Secretariat—have been canceled due to security concerns following the recent fire incident.
The Ministry of Home Affairs issued a notification on Friday, informing that the cancellation includes all temporary entry passes issued to private individuals, as well as accreditation cards for journalists, until further notice.
Holders of different categories of Secretariat entry passes that have been canceled can apply for new temporary entry passes through the special cell located at Bangladesh Police, Crime Command and Control Center, DMP, 15 Abdul Gani Road, Dhaka within the next 15 days, said the notification.
