Parliamentary committee told Government to expedite autonomy of Radio, TV Dhaka, March 3: The government will take necessary action regarding autonomy to the state-owned radio and television on the basis of recommendations to be made by a committee headed by the Information Secretary, Parliament was told on Thursday.
The committee will look into how the state-owned electronic media could be made more effective suiting the needs of the time, Information Minister M Shamsul Islam said, replying to a question appearing in the name of Kazi Sirajul Islam (AL-Faridpur). He said the previous Awami League government passed two bills towards the end of their administration providing for autonomy to the radio and the television. At that time, the President also gave his assent to the bills, Bangladesh Betar Authority Act-2001 and Bangladesh Television Authority Act-2001. But, the Minister said, it appeared that those two laws would not ensure the autonomy properly, and the government constituted a Committee headed by the Information Secretary to make recommendations to meet the present requirement.
