Bangladesh High Court on Thursday declared the government's provision of ministers in-charge of districts, illegal and unconstitutional.
The verdict came following long sessions of hearing over the last year of the rule of a writ petition by Anwar Hossain Monju, lawmaker and chairman of a Jatiya Party faction. The writ challenged the constitutional validity of the government notification that empowered ministers and others with charges of different districts to take care of development work and law and order.
Amir Khasru has more on the story.
