The government of Bangladesh launched a project to establish new “Sheikh Hasina Cantonment” in the country’s southern Barisal region in involving an estimated cost of Taka 1,699 crore (local currency).
The main objective of the project is to establish a modern cantonment with all necessary physical infrastructures in line with the “Forces Goal 2030” and strengthening national defense in the coastal areas, the government sail.

The Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (ECNEC) Tuesday (Nov 14) approved the project with ECNEC chairperson and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in the chair.

Planning Minister A H M Mustafa Kamal, after the meeting, told media that there is no cantonment in the country’s southern region, especially in Barisal and Patuakhali, although it is needed strategically and on national security grounds. It is also necessary in this region as it often witnesses natural disaster.

In case of any natural disaster, the government has to take support from the Jessore cantonment which is around 200 kilometers away.

Kamal said the proposed cantonment would be set up on some 1,532 acres of land of which some 567 acres of land have already been procured under the revenue budget. So, the government needs to acquire 965 more acres of land.

This project will be implemented by the Ministry of Defense by June 2021, he added.

As per the “Forces Goal 2030”, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on June 25, 2014 approved a proposal for setting up the cantonment at Lebukhali at the middle point of Barisal and Patuakhali.

Cabinet okays drafts of Gazipur, Rangpur metropolitan police
BSS, Dhaka
The Cabinet today approved the drafts of the proposals for constituting two separate laws for formation of metropolitan police forces in Gazipur and Rangpur districts of the country.
The approval was given in the weekly meeting of the cabinet held at Prime Minister’s Office with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in the chair.

Briefing reporters at Bangladesh Secretariat, Cabinet Secretary M Shafiul Alam said the cabinet has given final approval to the drafts of “Gazipur Metropolitan Police Act, 2017” and “Rangpur Metropolitan Police act, 2017” aimed at formation of separate metropolitan police forces in the two cities.

"Formation of the two metropolitan police forces becomes necessary following the establishment of Gazipur and Rangpur City Corporations," Shafiul Alam said.

These two laws have been formulated in the light of other existing metropolitan police acts of the country, he said.

About the punishment under the draft laws, Shafiul Alam said, according to the draft law, police officials are empowered to impose fine in most of the cases for violation of the acts.

A police officer-in-charge could arrest a person for committing a criminal offence before him or issue a notice at the home of a person for any offense.

Any person to be found guilty for teasing women and girls at public places, shopping malls, markets and roads and showing indecent body languages or touching body of a woman would have to face one year jail or fine of taka minimum five thousand and maximum ten thousand or both, the draft proposed.

In this case, concerned judicial magistrate will impose the punishment and Chief Judicial Magistrate’s Court would accomplish the task until the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court is established in the two districts.

The cabinet also approved a proposal for ratification of an agreement signed between Bangladesh and Bhutan for avoiding double taxation and tax evasion.
