UNB, Dhaka :
LGRD Minister Syed Ashraful Islam on Wednesday said the government has no plan to hold Zila Parishad polls any time soon.
“There’s a process to hold Zila parishad polls…the process is underway. On completion of the process, I hope it’ll be possible to establish elected institutions. But it’ll be examined whether there is any necessity of it,” he said.
The minister said this while talking to journalists after a meeting with Deputy Commissioners (DCs) as part of the DCs’ conference at the Bangladesh Secretariat.
In reply to a question whether the local
government institutions will be dissolved, the minister said, “It deserves consideration.”
“There’s no use of having unnecessary branches under local government… this is not good for a democratic country…there’s no use of so many local government institutions,” Syed Ashraf said emphasising the need for strengthening the union parishads.
