A cheque distribution ceremony for state-funded films, scheduled for Wednesday at 3 PM, ended in frustration after Information Adviser Mahfuz Alam failed to arrive on time. Journalists, invited by the Information Ministry, left the venue around 4:45 PM after waiting for nearly two hours. The program was initially delayed to 4 PM, but invitees and reporters had already gathered earlier. As time passed, journalists grew impatient, with many criticizing the adviser’s repeated delays. He eventually arrived at 5 PM—15 minutes after the journalists left. The program concluded around 6 PM.
