Provide winter clothes to Aila-hit people
The High Court yesterday directed the government to provide winter clothes to cyclone Aila-affected people in the southwestern areas of Khulna and Satkhira districts as soon as possible.
The High Court bench of Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain and Justice Quamrul Islam Siddiqui passed the order upon a writ petition jointly filed by Bangladesh Environmental Lawyers Association (Bela) and the Dacop Nagorik Parishad.
The court also instructed Deputy Attorney General Razik Al Jalil to forthwith inform the government of this order.
Earlier in December last year, the court following the same petition issued a rule upon the government to explain why it should not be directed to construct embankments and repair the damaged embankments in the two districts by February 2010.
