The Bangladesh Secretariat witnessed a wave of panic on Tuesday as rumours of impending attacks and arson spread, prompting officials and employees to vacate their offices, reports UNB.

Speaking with several individuals within the Secretariat, UNB learnt that the Ministry of Home Affairs had advised all ministries to prioritize safety. However, no officials from the Ministry of Home Affairs were willing to comment on the matter.

Adding to the chaos, police have reportedly expressed their inability to ensure security within the Secretariat. As a result, officials and employees have been leaving on their own accord, concerned for their safety.
