Alia Madrasah ground to be returned to authorities: Abrar

Education Adviser Prof Dr Chowdhury Rafiqul Abrar has said the ground of Government Madrasah-e-Alia in capital's Bakshibazar area, previously occupied during the tenure of the former government, will be returned to the madrasah authorities, reports BSS.

"The process of returning the ground to its rightful authorities has already begun. The ground was taken over during the tenure of the previous government to set up a special court on the premises. It will be removed following due procedure," he said.

The adviser said this while addressing as the chief guest the 246th founding anniversary celebration of Government Madrasah-e-Alia on the madrasah premise in the capital on Wednesday.

Dr Abrar further said special development projects have been taken up for three Alia Madrasahs across the country, including Dhaka Alia, to improve their infrastructure and academic environment.

He also assured that effective steps will be taken to resolve the shortage of teachers and the residential problems of students at Dhaka Alia Madrasah.
