Cabinet Secretary M Musharraf Hossain Bhuiyan disclosed this to journalists after a Cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at the Secretariat on Monday.
He said, “The proposed law intends to bring some changes to the railway board ordinance promulgated during military regimes. A Bengali version of the law has been submitted to the cabinet.”
Bangladesh Railway had operated as per the Bangladesh Railway Board Ordinance 1976.
Later in 1983, the government brought another ordinance to control the railway operations.
The cabinet secretary said, “The proposed law will strengthen the legal framework under which the railway is operating.”
