Sangsad Bhaban : The Local Government (City Corporation) (Amendment) Bill, 2012 was introduced in Parliament Saturday, seeking to extend the time from 90 days to 180 days for holding elections to Dhaka North and Dhaka South city corporations.
On November 30, 2011, the parliament passed the Dhaka City Corporation (Amendment) Bill, 2011 splitting the capital city into Dhaka North City Corporation and Dhaka South City Corporation with a provision to hold the elections within 90 days.
State Minister for LGRD Jahangir Kabir Nanak introduced the bill in the House.
The House sent the bill to the standing committee on the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development (LGRD) for further scrutiny and asked the committee to submit its report within two working days.
Statement on the aim and objective of the bill says, since the last Election Commission in a memo on December 14, 2011 expressed its inability to announce the election schedule, it has become necessary to extend the time for holding the elections.
