An emergency press briefing called by Bangladesh’s Ministry of Home Affairs to update the public on national law and order developments took place Sunday evening without the attendance of the Home Affairs Adviser, Lieutenant General (Retd.) Md. Jahangir Alam Chowdhury. The briefing was instead conducted by senior officials from the Dhaka Metropolitan Police and Border Guard Bangladesh, who discussed the ongoing ‘Devil Hunt Phase-2’ operation and recent security improvements.

Earlier in the day, ministry spokesperson Faisal Hasan had confirmed that the adviser would address journalists directly. His absence, however, drew attention from reporters and observers, as the session had been announced as a high-level update on internal security. Officials did not provide a reason for his nonappearance.

The briefing highlighted continued coordination among law enforcement agencies to maintain stability ahead of upcoming national events. Analysts suggest the adviser’s absence may raise questions about communication within the ministry, though operational updates indicate that security initiatives remain active and coordinated.
