Rangamati,
May 15 (UNB) – The Delinquencies’ Correction and Rehabilitation
Ordinance enacted 40 years ago is going to come into effect in the
Chittgong Hill Tracts.
A
decision in this regard was taken at a meeting at the Deputy
Commissioner’s conference room on May 8.
Senior
government officials, local elite and journalists attended the meeting
chaired by Additional Deputy Commissioner Mohammad Nazrul Islam.
Enacted
in 1960 and sent into effect in 1962, the Ordinance was never
practiced in the CHT region for reasons unknown.
A
19-member committee was formed at the meeting for taking necessary
steps to reactivate the Ordinance. The Deputy Commissioner of the
district has been made ex-office president of the committee.
A
new officer has also been appointed in this regard.
