Bangabhaban
Dhaka, Oct 24 - Amid ongoing protests demanding the resignation of President Shahabuddin, security has been beefed up around the Bangabhaban, with newly installed barbed-wire fences.
Protesters continued to gather sporadically near Bangabhaban for the third consecutive day on Thursday, calling for the President's immediate resignation.
Along with the Army and Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), members of the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) and the Armed Police Battalion (APBN) are also on high alert.
To fend off any unwarranted situation, stringent security cordons have been ensured on the road in front of Bangabhaban.
In addition to a four-layered barricade, a three-layered barbed-wire fence has been erected as the President's residence remains tense flowing two days of protests.-UNB
