Chief adviser to the interim government Professor Muhammad Yunus on Monday told the deputy commissioners’ annual conference that the government had scrapped the provision of police verification generally required for anyone to get a passport.

Inaugurating the three-day conference of the district administrators at his Tejgaon office in the Dhaka city, the chief adviser said that it was a right of a citizen to have a passport.

Chief adviser’s senior assistant press secretary Foyez Ahammad shared the information in a facebook post.

Deputy commissioners from all 64 districts and eight divisions are attending the conference.

Working sessions with various ministries are scheduled to be held at Osmani Memorial Auditorium.
