Dhaka, Sep 18 (IANS) Officers of the Bangladesh Army have been granted the power of an executive magistrate in order to improve the country’s law and order.
Bangladesh’s Ministry of Public Administration issued a notification on Tuesday, stating that this provision will take effect immediately and remain in force for the next 60 days.
Explaining further the rationale behind the move, the Bangladeshi interim government’s Law Adviser Asif Nazrul said a number of subversive acts have been reported recently in parts of the country.
Against this backdrop, he said army officers have been given magistracy power, Xinhua news agency reported.
Following nationwide clashes, the then Bangladeshi government had deployed the army and imposed a curfew across the country on the night of July 19.
Subsequently, on August 5, the then Sheikh Hasina government led by her Bangladesh Awami League party was toppled amid domestic violence.
Three days later, on August 8, an interim government was formed under the leadership of Muhammad Yunus.
Despite the formation of the interim government, army personnel remain deployed across the country to firmly tackle anarchic situation.
