Bakerganj Upazila Nirbahi Officer Milton Chandra Pal stated that village courts are enabling ordinary people to receive justice more quickly while reducing the pressure on formal courts. He made the remarks on Wednesday, May 20, during a workshop held at the Upazila Parishad conference room, organized by the Upazila administration to develop a coordinated plan for raising public awareness about village courts.

During his address, the official noted that village courts play an important role in resolving family disputes, land-related conflicts, and other social issues efficiently and easily. He emphasized that regular participation and effective roles of local representatives could further speed up dispute resolution at the community level. According to him, village courts have already earned public trust.

The workshop was supported by the Bangladesh Village Court Activation Phase-3 Project and attended by local government officials and representatives from organizations including BRAC, Proshika, Wave Foundation, and SAINT Bangladesh.
