Ban on entry of journalists to Bangladesh Bank, strict rules

Journalists were able to enter Bangladesh Bank freely, but they were complaining that they could not enter there for the past one month.

Dissatisfaction was born among the journalists. As a result, angry journalists took a stand in front of Bangladesh Bank on Thursday morning.

However, to resolve the issue, Economic Reporters Forum (ERF) President Mohammad Refayet Ullah Mirdha and General Secretary Abul Kashem held a meeting with Bangladesh Bank Governor Abdur Rauf Talukdar at around 11 am.

At the end of the meeting, Bangladesh Bank’s Executive Director and Spokesperson Mejbaul Haque told reporters, ‘The Central Bank has decided that from now on, journalists can only go to the spokesperson with specific permission (access pass) of the bank. However, if an official gives a pass to journalists, they can only go to that official. But as before they will not be able to freely enter any department of the central bank.’
