Growing Abuse of Power by Executive Magistrates in Bangladesh: Legal experts have expressed worries about the growing abuse of power by the executive magistrates.
The Supreme Court today upheld a High Court order that asked the government to bar Khagrachhari's Ramgarh UNO from conducting mobile courts, on charge of 'illegally' sentencing two day-labourers to jail on August 1 last year.
The 1.9-kilometre bridge connected Sabroom a town in the Indian state of Tripura with Ramgarh of Bangladesh.
The Indian PM, while inaugurating the Friendship Bridge, said connectivity is not only strengthening the friendship between India and Bangladesh but also proving to be a strong business link. The entire region is being developed as a trade corridor between Northeast India and Bangladesh, he said, reports our New Delhi correspondent.
Modi said the bridge will improve connectivity of south Assam, Mizoram, Manipur and Tripura with Bangladesh and Southeast Asia.
Attending the event virtually, Sheikh Hasina said Bangladesh expects the bridge to help the country conduct trade more smoothly with Nepal and Bhutan alongside India.
