Bangladesh will not pursue cases against those who took part in mass uprising
Photo:Mahmud Zaman OviThe government has decided not to pursue any cases against students and members of the public who ‘actively participated’ in the ‘mass uprising’ that brought down the Sheikh Hasina administration.

At the same time, the ministry has warned the concerned parties against obtaining any benefits by providing false information on these issues.

Govt panel recommends raising age limit for govt jobs to 35 for men, 37 for women
A panel reviewing the age limits for public sector jobs has recommended raising the eligibility threshold to 35 years for men and 37 years for women. Abdul Muyeed Chowdhury, chief of the Public Administration Reform Commission and head of the review committee, addressed the issue on Monday. The recommended age limit for women has been set at 37 to provide them with greater opportunities, aligning with practices in neighbouring countries. The movement to raise the age limit for entering public sector jobs began over a decade ago and has gained fresh momentum following recent political upheaval in Bangladesh. The interim government has indicated a positive stance on increasing the age limit, but the extent of the change was not immediately clear.

Authorities have handed out fines totalling Tk 9,000 to three vendors and seized 195 kg of hilsa from a market in Chandpur's Hajiganj Upazila on the first day of the ban on catching and selling the coveted fish.

The government has imposed a 22-day ban on catching, transporting and selling the fish, effective from midnight on Saturday to Nov 3, in a bid to protect juvenile and brood hilsa during its breeding season. "We fined three traders at the Hajiganj market Tk 3,000 each and confiscated 195 kg of hilsa for defying the prohibition," said Assistant Commissioner Rifat Jahan.

Student leader Mahfuz didn't 'spring from ground': Farhad Mazhar
Poet and thinker Farhad Mazhar believes Mahfuz Alam, special assistant to the chief adviser and widely regarded as the mastermind behind the student-led protests that led to the ouster of the Awami League government, did not suddenly 'spring from the ground,' reports bdnews24.com. "If you think Mahfuz is alone, then you'd be making a grave mistake," Farhad said in a Facebook post on Saturday. "Those of us who are with him will continue to support him because Mahfuz did not suddenly spring from the ground. Know the society, know Mahfuz. It takes decades for a society to find a Mahfuz, Akhter, Nahid, Asif, Nusrat, Akram, Arif, Jahid, Tushar, Umama, Hasnat, Sarjis, Nazifa, Abu Baker, Tariqul, and Sanjana."
