Dhaka:State Minister for Fisheries and Livestock Sultan Salauddin Tuku has advocated for increased monitoring and surveillance of educational institutions to address the growing issues of juvenile delinquency and drug abuse both in the capital and nationwide.
According to United News of Bangladesh, Tuku emphasized the need for regular inspections of schools and colleges by education officials during the monthly meeting of the Dhaka District Law and Order Committee. He urged principals and headmasters to closely monitor student activities to curb the rise of juvenile gangs, which he noted had been virtually non-existent until recent years.
Tuku criticized the previous government's impact on society and stressed the importance of immediate action to prevent further escalation of these issues. He called for accountability from officials across various sectors, including agriculture, and highlighted the need for a collective effort to restore the country's progress under the leadership of Prime Minister Tarique Rahman. The meeting, led by Dhaka Deputy Commissioner Farida Khanam, also featured Dhaka-6 MP Ishraq Hossain as a special guest.
