Chargé d'affaires at Bangladesh Mission in Sudan, Tareq Ahmed, has said the safety and security situation in the area where the Bangladesh Embassy and Bangladesh House are located, is still volatile.

"Our staff were unable to get access to the embassy premises as of today," he told UNB early today.
