DHAKA, April 30, 2026 (BSS) - A court here today placed former Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI) official Major (Retd) Manjil Haider Chowdhury on a fresh three-day remand in a case filed under the Anti-Terrorism Act over a flash procession by banned Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) and Awami League in the capital in 2025. Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Jamshed Alam passed the order after police produced Manjil before the court upon completion of his previous four-day remand and sought a further seven-day remand. Earlier, Manjil was first placed on a five-day remand on April 21. He was subsequently remanded for another four days on April 26. With today's order, he has been remanded for the third time in the case.

Police later filed the case under the Anti-Terrorism Act.

Govt approves major energy exploration projects to boost domestic reserves
DHAKA, April 30, 2026 (BSS) – The Cabinet Committee on Government Purchase (CCGP) today approved several key energy exploration projects aimed at strengthening the country’s domestic gas and oil reserves. The approvals came at the committee’s 19th meeting of the year with Finance Minister Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury in the chair. Under a project implemented by the Bangladesh Petroleum Exploration and Production Company Limited (BAPEX), the committee approved the drilling of two exploration wells—Srikail Deep-1 and Mobarakpur Deep-1—out of a three-well programme that also includes Fenchuganj South-1. The turnkey contract for drilling the two wells has been awarded to CNPC Chuanqing Drilling Engineering Company Ltd. of China at a cost of Tk 713.64 crore.  In another significant decision, the committee approved the drilling of the Sylhet-12 oil well under a separate turnkey project. The contract has been awarded to Sinopec International Petroleum Service Corporation at a total cost of Tk 232.07 crore, covering drilling and all associated auxiliary works. Officials said the initiatives are expected to play a crucial role in boosting domestic energy production and reducing reliance on imported fuel by accelerating exploration in untapped deeper zones. The approvals underscore the government’s continued emphasis on expanding the country’s energy base through advanced exploration activities.
