Administrative reforms
The Awami League govt has initiated a number of sector-wise reforms. The prime minister in keeping with her election pledges has already announced that Rangpur would be the next division. It is only decentralization that can improve the socio-economic conditions of our people. It is only natural that for all practical purposes all the five southern districts namely Faridpur, Madaripur, Rajbari, Shariatpur and Gopalganj be incorporated within the fold of Barisal Division. This would minimize the sufferings of common people who have to travel all the way to Dhaka for legal and administrative purpose.
It is simply not understood why an individual should travel from outlying upazilas of Madaripur and Gopalganj when travelling to Barisal would be much more convenient and less time consuming and less expensive. It would also be easier for Dhaka Division to handle administrative and legal issues in a much more efficient way.
