Information and Broadcasting Minister Zahir Uddin Swapan announced that the government will form a media commission to address what he described as disorder in the country's media management. Speaking at a press conference at the Department of Information on Tuesday, May 19, he said a committee will be established by June, and a related report will be submitted to the Prime Minister by July.

During the same briefing, the minister also discussed several other issues, including the spread of measles, which he attributed to the negligence of the previous government. He said the current administration has procured necessary vaccines and will soon begin distributing health cards. So far, 53,096 families have received family cards.

Swapan further stated that despite a sharp rise in global fuel prices, domestic prices have been kept at a tolerable level and that the country currently has adequate fuel reserves.
