The primary challenge for the government is improving the law and order situation, Home Affairs Adviser Lt Gen (retd) Md. Jahangir Alam Chowdhury said on Monday.

Speaking to journalists in his office at the Secretariat, the adviser emphasized the urgency of addressing security concerns and outlined his dual responsibilities in both home affairs and agriculture.

“Our main challenge at the Ministry of Home Affairs is law and order. We are focused on improving the situation as quickly as possible,” he said.

He also discussed his objectives in the agriculture sector, saying, “My goal is to increase production and ensure that we can feed more people.”

Earlier in the day, Chowdhury met with UN Resident Coordinator Gwyn Lewis to discuss the United Nations’ potential support in various sectors. “Our discussions centered on the types of assistance they can provide in this situation and which areas we are seeking help in,” he noted.

Addressing the ongoing Rohingya crisis, the adviser said that the government has requested additional support from the UN. “The Rohingya population is growing daily, with 1.2 million people now in the country. The costs are escalating, and it’s uncertain how long we can sustain this,” he said.

The adviser also mentioned that a UN fact-finding mission is expected to arrive in Bangladesh next week. “We discussed the kind of support they will offer and what assistance we require from them,” he added.
