In a major anti-narcotics move, the government is planning to amend the relevant laws for mandary dope test to be performed on students before their university admission.
Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal disclosed the matter at a press conference on the occasion of 'International Day against Drug Abuse and Illegal Trafficking, 2022' at the secretariat on Sunday.
He said laws are being amended and students will be brought under dope test according to the law. “Medical tests including the dope test will be done at the time of their admission,” he said.
Asaduzzalam went on saying, "We have already started dope test of police members when the Prime Minister announced zero tolerance against drug abuse."
They also sent a proposal to the Prime Minister to introduce dope test for government officials and employees before their recruitment.
“To do this infrastructure needs to be developed and efforts are already on,” he added.
