\nAmong those suspended are Bangladesh Secretariat Officials and Employees Sangukya Parishad President Badiul Kabir, Vice-President Shahin Golam Rabbani and Nazrul Islam.

\nOn December 10, government employees blocked Financial Advisor Salehuddin Ahmed at the Secretariat for about seven hours, demanding ‘secretariat allowance’. Later, he returned home at around 8:15 pm with the help of police. The next day, the protesters blocked the road to the Secretariat and staged a protest and were arrested in turn by law enforcement officials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
