Depositors affected by six liquidated non-banking financial institutions (NBFIs) held a human chain protest in front of Bangladesh Bank’s headquarters on Wednesday, demanding the immediate return of their withheld savings. Participants, numbering over a hundred, wore black cloths over their mouths to symbolize their suffering and called for urgent action to recover their money.
In a written statement, the protesters said they represent more than 12,000 depositors whose funds have been stuck for seven years, causing severe financial uncertainty, mental distress, and humanitarian crises. Many depositors are reportedly unable to afford treatment for serious illnesses such as cancer, kidney, and heart diseases, and some have already died due to lack of medical care. The statement emphasized that Bangladesh Bank, as the regulator of all scheduled banks and NBFIs, bears the highest responsibility for protecting public deposits.
The protesters urged the central bank to announce a clear and practical roadmap for returning funds by the previously declared July 2026 deadline and to prioritize repayment to affected depositors.
