Announcement of Closure

On December 26, 2022, the office of Dainik Dinkal was ordered to be invalidated by the publication branch of the Dhaka District Magistrate. According to the office order, without assigning responsibility to the newspaper publisher, the office address and printing press were relocated outside the country, and the newspaper was prosecuted in a criminal case. Tarek Rahman's name was used to issue a press release for printing the newspaper, and the address and printing press were changed without the permission of the authorities. As a result, the announcement of the newspaper's publication was suspended. On February 19, 2023, the Bangladesh Press Council announced the closure of the publication of the newspaper. [3] [4]
