Parliament Passes Bill Simplifying Registration of Periodicals

In a significant move aimed at streamlining the process and promoting the free flow of information, the Parliament has recently passed a groundbreaking bill that simplifies the registration of periodicals. This legislative development marks a crucial step towards fostering a more accessible and dynamic media landscape.

The cumbersome process of registering periodicals has long been a hurdle for publishers and journalists, often deterring potential voices from contributing to the public discourse. Recognizing the need for reform, lawmakers deliberated on a comprehensive bill that addresses these challenges while upholding the integrity and accountability of the media industry.

Simplified Registration Process: The new bill introduces a simplified registration process for periodicals, eliminating unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles. Publishers will now find it easier to navigate the administrative requirements, reducing the time and resources spent on registration.

Online Registration Portal: Embracing the digital age, the legislation incorporates an online registration portal, enabling publishers to submit their applications seamlessly. This shift to a digital platform not only enhances efficiency but also ensures a more transparent and accessible process.

Faster Approval Mechanism: The bill outlines a streamlined and expedited approval mechanism for periodical registrations. With a focus on timely processing, publishers can expect quicker responses, allowing them to commence their journalistic endeavors without undue delays.

Facilitation of Diverse Voices: One of the bill's notable objectives is to encourage a diverse range of voices in the media landscape. By simplifying the registration process, the legislation aims to empower smaller publishers, independent journalists, and niche publications, fostering a more pluralistic and representative media environment.

Stringent Accountability Measures: While simplifying the registration process, the bill maintains a commitment to upholding journalistic standards. Stringent accountability measures are integrated to ensure that periodicals adhere to ethical practices and uphold the principles of responsible journalism.

The passage of this bill is being hailed as a positive step toward bolstering media freedom. By reducing barriers to entry and facilitating a more inclusive environment for periodicals, the legislation empowers a diverse range of voices to contribute to public discourse. This, in turn, strengthens the foundations of democracy by ensuring a well-informed citizenry.

The Parliament's approval of the bill simplifying the registration of periodicals is a landmark achievement that reflects a commitment to fostering a vibrant and diverse media landscape. As the new legislative framework takes effect, the hope is that it will usher in an era of increased accessibility, efficiency, and accountability in the world of periodical publishing, ultimately benefiting both publishers and the public.

Bangladesh Military Expresses Discontent Over Chinese Weapons; Reports 'Sub-Standard' and Faulty Parts

  Bangladesh, a traditional buyer of Chinese military equipment, has raised grievances with Beijing regarding the delivery of defective components and technical malfunctions in its imported military hardware. This issue is not unique to Bangladesh, as other nations like Myanmar have also encountered problems with Chinese fighter jets, according to an ET report. Experts in the Chinese defense industry argue that Beijing lacks the expertise to manufacture highly sophisticated military hardware and is not yet considered a top-tier producer of modern defense equipment. They claim that much of China's weapon systems are based on outdated technology copied from the West. Developing countries often opt for Chinese weapons due to their lower cost compared to similar systems from Western countries. China sells arms through state-run export organizations like the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), NORINCO, and CVIC. Sources familiar with the matter told ET that the Bangladesh mil...

India raises concern over North Korea missile tests at UNSC, 2nd time in weeks

 As the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) met for the second time in a month over the missile tests in North Korea, India yet again raised concerns over the impact on peace and security in the region. New Delhi has also reiterated its support for the denuclearisation in the Korean peninsula, underlining that it is “in collective interest” while also stressing that “dialogue and diplomacy” are preferred means to resolve the issue. The latest intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) test by the DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) has again sparked tensions between nations with the United States and its allies calling for the country to limit its programs even as Russia and China back Pyongyang amid the likelihood of new sanctions.

The Dark Reality of Al-Julani’s Rule: Are We Just Witnessing the Rise of Another Tyrant?

  Recent violent actions of Al-Julani’s group perform cruel acts including flogging an orphaned child for selling cigarettes, power abuse. As it will be seen, this kind of approach represents the level of dominance that Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) has in some regions in Syria. It has gone further in oppression starting with gagging the dissenters to brutalizing citizens who are least protected. The flogging of the child who just attempted to feed his family just demonstrates the price people pay when they are forced to survive under the rule of this terror group, HTS. This is not an exception to the rule but is rather a part of a tendency to establish violence in Syria. Al-Julani, once an associate of Al-Qaeda, relentlessly has pursued the agenda of an Islamic state in the Levant. They belong to a group that is affiliated with terrorist organizations such Al-Qaeda, which raises eyebrows. The recent good results of HTS have brightened the militants in the eyes of other global terror ...
