DHAKA — Special inspection rooms with modern amenities will be set up in every upazila parishad to host sitting members of parliament, Junior Local Government Minister Mir Shahe Alam said Tuesday.
Speaking on the floor of parliament Tuesday after taking permission from Speaker Hafiz Uddin Ahmed, Shahe Alam said a government order has already been issued to upazila executive officers (UNOs) on the advice of the local government and cooperatives minister.
Each room will be equipped with an attached bathroom and necessary furniture, the minister said. Because rules do not allow rooms to be allotted directly in the name of MPs, the spaces will be designated as “inspection rooms,” he said. MPs will be able to handle official work and meet constituents directly from these rooms.
If an MP’s constituency covers more than one upazila, such an office will be arranged in each upazila, Shahe Alam said. He thanked the prime minister for issuing special directives to implement the initiative and offered congratulations on behalf of all MPs.
With the government order taking effect immediately, MPs were urged to coordinate with their local UNOs to set up the rooms as quickly as possible.
