Depositors from five banks staged a protest in Chattogram on Wednesday morning demanding the return of their deposits. The demonstration took place around 10 a.m. at the city’s New Market intersection under the banner of the ‘Combined Islamic Bank Depositors Association’—Chattogram Division.
Participants expressed anger over remarks by a Bangladesh Bank spokesperson, calling for the withdrawal of what they described as defamatory comments. One depositor said they were becoming destitute while being unfairly labeled as wrongdoers. The association’s president, Abul Kalam Azad, warned that the movement could expand if their demands were not met, emphasizing that depositors’ money sustains bank operations.
Kotwali Police Station’s officer-in-charge Aftab Uddin said the area is a VIP zone with key installations, so protesters were asked to gather at New Market intersection but later moved to Alkaran intersection. He confirmed that adequate police were deployed to maintain security.
