The Bangladesh Parliament will begin holding two sessions daily starting Tuesday, according to Chief Whip Nurul Islam. The first session will start at 10:30 a.m. and adjourn at noon, while the second will begin at 3:30 p.m. and continue into the night. The decision was made at an emergency meeting of the parliamentary business advisory committee. The move aims to expedite legislative work before the April 9 deadline.

Chief Whip Nurul Islam explained that 133 ordinances must be passed by April 9, prompting the decision for extended sittings. He also noted that due to time constraints, copies of all bills could not be distributed in advance and expressed regret for the inconvenience. The Chief Whip added that bills already agreed upon in special committees would be passed first, while those with dissent notes or amendments would be presented separately by the following day.

If necessary, parliamentary sessions may also be held on Friday to ensure completion of the legislative agenda within the limited timeframe.
