Ministries busy drafting stories of 'success'

All the ministries are busy drafting their success stories as part of a move to publish a special supplement highlighting their achievements in last one year.
Press Information Department (PID), the government's press wing, asked the ministries to send it their inputs over the issue today.
However, PID officials said any specific decision is yet to be taken over giving comprehensive account of the achievements by the caretaker government.
“Since we used to do this earlier after completion of a year in office of a political government, we thought we may receive similar instructions from the present caretaker government,” a PID official told The Daily Star yesterday wishing not to be named.
He said they asked the ministries to give them information about their activities so that they can publish a special supplement if the government asks them to do so.
Sources said the supplement would highlight the success in curbing corruption, implementing projects and economic development.
“For example, while writing about the law ministry we can mention the separation of judiciary and the new ordinances promulgated during the period,” said the PID official.
The information officers asked different wings of the respective ministries to provide them with necessary information.
Home Secretary Abdul Karim yesterday held a meeting with the ministry officials to discuss the matter.
