A major security concern has emerged at the Bangladesh Secretariat after the Prime Minister’s red telephone line became inactive during the Eid-ul-Azha holidays. Officials discovered on June 1 that several key telephone lines, including the Prime Minister’s, Cabinet Division, and Public Administration Ministry connections, were disconnected due to missing or cut copper cables. Bangladesh Telecommunications Company Limited (BTCL) technicians restored the connection after seven hours of work, and a general diary was filed with the police. Multiple government agencies have launched investigations into the incident.
BTCL later sent a letter to the Ministry of Home Affairs requesting a full investigation and CCTV review to identify those responsible. The letter confirmed that valuable copper cables between Secretariat buildings had been severed, disrupting critical government communications. Senior officials expressed dissatisfaction with the Secretariat’s current security measures, describing them as ineffective and inadequate for such a sensitive administrative zone.
Officials from the Ministry of Home Affairs stated that the matter is being treated seriously, with the Special Branch and other agencies assigned to investigate the breach.
