The interim government has revoked the official media listing of Bhorer Kagoj, a newspaper with a three-decade legacy, citing fraudulent circulation figures and misinformation regarding its printing press. On Jan 20, Bhorer Kagoj, which had been in print for 33 years, announced its closure through a notice. The government’s letter said a three-member inspection team from the DFP visited Bhorer Kagoj’s office and printing facilities on Jan 20. More than three months later, the newspaper resumed limited printing at Hamrai Press on Mar 11. In a follow-up visit on Mar 21, a two-member DFP team again found the main office, located at Karnaphuli Media Point, 2nd floor, closed.
