The High Court has asked the Attorney General’s office to talk to the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) and inquire about vaccinating Bangladeshi students, on a priority basis, who will go abroad to study.
The Bench of Justice M Enayetur Rahim told Deputy Attorney General Samarendranath Biswas to ask Attorney General AM Amin Uddin to talk to the DGHS on the issue.
DAG Samarendranath can also communicate with DGHS to know the necessary steps in regards to the matter, the bench said.
Many Bangladeshi students are admitted to different foreign universities by depositing money, and their academic sessions will start in August or September. Therefore, the HC wants to know how they will be vaccinated, Justice M Enayetur Rahim said.
DAG Samarendranath told the HC that he will talk to the DGHS office over the issue.
The HC Bench came up with the observation after Supreme Court lawyer SK Jahangir Alam verbally pointed out the issue and prayed for an order.
DAG Samarendranath Biswas told the reporters that he has informed the HC order to Attorney General AM Amin Uddin.
“I will talk to the office of Directorate General of Health Services and will inform the outcome to the High Court when it will deal with the matter,” he added.
