In a move to support those affected by the anti-discrimination student protests in July and August, the Ministry of Home Affairs has announced plans to offer job opportunities to individuals who were injured during the protests.
Initially, 100 people will be hired for various positions in the police force.
This update came from Home Affairs Advisor, Lieutenant General (retd.) Mohammad Jahangir Alam Chowdhury, who spoke to the media after visiting the headquarters of the Special Branch (SB) and the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) on Tuesday morning.
"The interim government has decided to provide employment to those who were injured during the anti-discrimination protests in July.
In the first phase, 100 individuals will be offered jobs in different police units," Jahangir Alam Chowdhury said.
He also addressed concerns about financial issues under the previous administration, saying, "A major issue faced by the past government was money laundering. We`ve directed the CID to quickly prepare a report on how much money was lost from Bangladesh Bank."
The advisor also acknowledged the ongoing traffic congestion problem, stating, "Solving the traffic jam issue isn’t only the responsibility of the Ministry of Home Affairs. It requires everyone’s cooperation. As part of our initiative, around 400 students are currently working on road projects. We`re aiming to increase that number to 1,000 soon."
This announcement is seen as a step forward in addressing the needs of those who played a significant role in the protests and also in solving some pressing issues like traffic and financial transparency.
