Deputy Speaker Fazle Rabbi Miah said street children are facing various problems, including their inability to get admitted into schools due to lack of birth registration and identity crisis.
He also said, if the government can prepare the voter list at free of cost, then it can also make free birth registration for street children. “I hope Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will take necessary measure in this regard if this matter will be properly presented to her”, said Fazle Rabbi.
