Employees stage protest inside Secretariat

FE REPORT

The government employees staged a protest inside Bangladesh Secretariat in the capital on Sunday, demanding the repeal of the Public Service (Amendment) Ordinance 2025.

A large number of employees from different ministries left their respective offices and joined the demonstration at around 11:00 am on the day.

They brought out a procession inside the secretariat and marched through the corridors of different ministries. The procession ended in front of the finance ministry's new building. The employees staged a sit-in and chanted slogans, demanding the withdrawal of the ordinance.
