Mujibur also said the cabinet approved in principle the draft of
“Bangladesh Parjatan Corporation Act, 2020,” for making the existing
“Bangladesh Parjatan Corporation Order, 1972” a time befitting one aimed at
generating more employment alongside increasing the income.
He added that Bangladesh Parjatan Corporation (BPC) is now facing
difficulty in taking prompt decision as it has a board of directors of only
four persons with BPC Chairman at the top.
Due to this reason, he said that the BPC is not getting desired assistance
from the concerned ministries and departments.
He added that if the proposed law is passed, the BPC board of directors
will be formed consisting senior secretaries, secretaries and appropriate
representatives of the concerned ministries and departments.
Replying to a query, he said, in accordance with the cabinet decision no
more Bangladeshis will be brought back from coronavirus affected China, as
the authorities concerned didn’t find any authenticity of the allegations
that Bangladeshis residing in China are not getting foods and other
facilities.
The cabinet also adopted a motion of felicitation as the Bangladesh Under-
19 Cricket Team has clinched the ICC Under-19 World Cup trophy by defeating
mighty India by 3 wickets in the final of the tournament at Senwes Park in
Potchefstroom, South Africa on Sunday.
