Mahbub Kabir Milon seeks one-month authority from Prime Minister

On Friday (9 October) morning, in a post on his Facebook account, Mahbub Kabir Milon drew the Prime Minister's attention and made this proposal.

In the post, he said he wants to work for one month to stop ticket black-marketing on the Dhaka–Cox's Bazar and Dhaka–Chattogram routes. For this, no post or position, salary, or allowance will be needed; he only wants a car for travel and full freedom to work in the relevant department.

According to his proposal, experienced officers will be appointed for ticket inspection, and executive magistrates and special police support will be taken. He also mentioned plans to implement the policy of verifying passenger identity, imposing double fines in cases of irregularities, and the rule that the ticket belongs to whoever, the travel also belongs to them—this policy. He also proposed that ticket examiners and guards wear body cameras.

Mahbub Kabir Milon further said that within the stipulated one month, initiatives would be taken to implement the Railway Security Force Act and modernize the force. At the same time, he said necessary steps would be taken to stop stone throwing at trains on the specified routes.

Committing to accept any punishment if he fails to implement his plan, he sought from the Prime Minister the opportunity to work with complete independence for one month. Whether the government has taken any decision to implement his proposal was not mentioned in the post.
