Media workers to be allowed to enter Secretariat from tomorrow

From tomorrow media workers will be allowed to enter the Secretariat, said Information and Broadcasting Advisor Nahid Islam.

Mr. Islam said this to the media in the afternoon on Sunday.

Information and Broadcasting Advisor Nahid Islam told reporters, “The media workers will be allowed to enter the Secretariat from Monday. Temporary passes will be arranged for them.”

Late on Wednesday night, fire broke out in Building No. 7 of the Secretariat. According to reports, everything including documents, computers and furniture of five ministries were damaged.

Since then, the police have restricted entry to the Secretariat. In an order on the intervening night of Friday, the Home Ministry withdrew all accreditation cards issued to journalists by the Directorate of Information. Because of this, media workers failed to enter the Secretariat on Sunday, the first day of the week, like last Thursday, and waited outside for gathering news.

Later, a delegation of journalists entered the Secretariat and met the Home Advisor. The discussion came up with the issue of gathering news with temporary entry passes from Monday.
