The Bangladesh Parliament has decided to conduct its sittings in two daily sessions starting Tuesday to meet the constitutional requirement of converting 133 ordinances issued by the interim government into laws. The announcement was made during the 13th National Parliament session on Monday, with Chief Whip Nurul Islam outlining the schedule and purpose of the extended sittings.

According to the Chief Whip, the first session will begin at 10:30 a.m. and the second at 3:30 p.m. To expedite the legislative process, Thursday’s Private Members’ Day has been canceled to prioritize government bills. He also noted that the Parliament is prepared to continue its sessions on Friday if necessary to complete the legislative workload.

The decision reflects the urgency to fulfill constitutional obligations within a limited timeframe, ensuring that all 133 ordinances are formally enacted into law without delay.
