Govt working for repatriation of Rohingyas:Asaduzzaman

Staff Correspondent: Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal has said that government is working for repatriation of the Rohingyas who entered Bangladesh to save their lives facing violence by Myanmar Army.

The minister said this while addressing a national conference on “National plan of action for combating human trafficking 2015-2017, achievement and way forward” at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre in the city’s Sher-e Bangla Nagar on Tuesday.

“Still there are lots of challenges to prevent human trafficking. Due to lack of proper education, people easily become the prey of human trafficking”, said the minister said.

“We realise that combating human trafficking requires a combined effort. We request all to come up with feasible recommendation for addressing gaps and challenges based on the realities from the grass-root level,” said the minister.

Asaduzzaman said that Bangladesh has long been working with other nations to combat human trafficking. The government has taken administrative measures to address human trafficking, specially trafficking of women and children.
