Foreign tours

Monzur Rahman, Dhaka
The Honourable Prime Minister has recently directed all concerned to limit the tour of bureaucrats to foreign countries which, in my view, is a timely move. But the question arises when we see the bulging list of entourage of our ministers, including the prime minister, while they go abroad. I personally witnessed on several occasions the foreigners being surprised seeing luxurious foreign tours by our political leaders. For the sake of austerity, the number of such tours should be reduced.
