Dhaka, Dec 03 (V7N) – According to the SSF security protocol, army and air force helicopters will conduct test landings and take-offs at two open fields near Evercare Hospital between 12:00 am and 4:00 pm 04 December (Wednesday). Authorities have urged the public to avoid creating or spreading any kind of propaganda or confusion regarding this scheduled activity.

The request was issued in a notification from the Office of the Chief Advisor on Wednesday (December 3).

This development follows the interim government’s decision on Monday to declare former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia a “VIP”. The decision was made during a meeting of the Security Advisory Council, after which a gazette was published and the SSF initiated special security measures for her.

Khaleda Zia was brought to Evercare Hospital from her Gulshan residence, Firoza, on the night of November 23 for medical evaluation. She was later admitted on the recommendation of the medical board, and her health condition has since deteriorated.
