Meeting between US envoy and CEC cancelled

The scheduled meeting between Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) A. M. M. Nasir Uddin and US Embassy Chargé d’Affaires Tracy Ann Jacobson has been cancelled.

Ashraful Alam, the CEC’s personal secretary, confirmed the development, stating that the meeting was set to take place at 2:00 PM on Thursday, August 28.

According to Alam, the US Embassy cancelled the meeting due to a blockade at the Agargaon intersection, where students under the banner of the Krishibid Oikya Parishad were staging a protest.
