Bangladesh to adopt Bengali language for official govt. use

Ministries, departments and all offices under them have been asked to report progress within that time, he said.

“All ministries will have to report on their progress within 15 days to the Ministry of Public Administration. If anybody has any problem in implementing the order, they will have to inform us as well,” Chowdhury said.

The exercise will be reviewed after 15 days, he said.  He said private offices, too, would be asked to switch to Bengali.

The information secretary has also been asked to use Bengali in mass media, Chowdhury said.
