Protesters demand BSEC chairman's resignation

Members of the Bangladesh Pujibadi Oikya Parishad staged a human chain protest in front of the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) on Tuesday, expressing their frustration over the recent continuous decline in the stock market.

During the demonstration, protesters called for the resignation of the chairman of the Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC), holding him accountable for the ongoing downturn.

Last week, the stock market experienced a significant slump, with four consecutive days of decline, which extended into the start of this week. 
However, following an announcement from the Ministry of Finance pledging support to those affected by previous stock market crises and scandals, the market rebounded significantly.    —UNB
