The government has decided to reduce the sentences of convicted prisoners, Home Affairs Advisor Jahangir Alam Chowdhury said. He informed this information to reporters at the Secretariat today, Sunday (September 14). The Home Affairs Advisor said that the government has decided to reduce the sentences of convicted prisoners who have been in prison for a long time. Especially those who are elderly and women, their sentences will be reduced. “In the case of women, the life sentence will be reduced to 20 years. In the case of men, the sentence may be slightly higher than this. However, the term has not been decided yet,” added Jahangir Alam Chowdhury. At this time, the Home Affairs Advisor said that all necessary measures will be taken to ensure that the upcoming Durga Puja of the followers of traditional religions is completed without any problems. Jahangir Alam Chowdhury also said that in addition to training, various steps are being taken to maintain law and order in the upcoming elections. He also said that the people of Faridpur are suffering by blocking roads in the name of a movement for and against the delimitation of parliamentary constituencies. If the blockade is not lifted by this afternoon, they will be forcibly removed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
