Regulatory Actions and Investor Alerts
In a significant regulatory move, the DSE has cancelled the Trading Right Entitlement Certificate (TREC) of Sonali Securities Limited due to various violations. Investors associated with this firm are urged to settle their claims by May 21, 2026. Furthermore, a recent DSE inspection of Dominage Steel Building Systems Ltd. revealed that while the Ashulia unit is operational, the Polash factory unit remains closed, a detail crucial for shareholders to monitor.
