Chief Whip and Parliament Committee Chair Nurul Islam Moni said a severe water shortage has hit the Parliament complex, with only 2.7 million liters produced daily against a demand of 10 million liters. Speaking to reporters after a committee meeting on Monday, he noted that poor water quality had caused health problems and that the government would be asked to resolve the issue.

The meeting, chaired by Moni, discussed multiple facility concerns including housing allocations for members by April 10, the need for an ICU ambulance and a refrigerated vehicle for the Parliament hospital, and persistent problems with the chamber’s sound system. A report on the sound system malfunction is expected by April 2. Two subcommittees were formed to investigate water quality, food standards, and furniture quality within the complex.

The committee also instructed officials to ensure transparency and quality in furniture procurement, warning against irregularities similar to past scandals. Opposition members’ speaking time distribution was also addressed, with Moni asserting that their participation in debates is being ensured.
