Ansar members have completely sealed off all five entrances to the Secretariat beginning after noon on Sunday. The blockade has effectively trapped government officials and employees inside, with no access for entry or exit.
The Ansar forces have been demonstrating for two days, demanding the nationalisation of their jobs. They allege ongoing discrimination and unmet promises from authorities. The protesters have declared that the blockade will continue until their demands are addressed, vowing to prevent anyone from entering or leaving the Secretariat.
This protest is part of a broader wave of discontent that has surged since the fall of the Awami League government. Workers and employees from various sectors are increasingly voicing their frustrations, with the Secretariat becoming a focal point for their grievances.
