DHAKA, Oct 18, 2025 (BSS) - Bangladesh Jammat-e-Islami Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman has expressed deep concern and shock over the tragic fire incident at the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (HSIA) here. Dr. Shafiq, in a statement today, said, "As the country's main international gateway, HSIA is not only a center for passenger movement but also a significant symbol of Bangladesh's image. Such a fire at this location has deeply alarmed the nation." "After the recent fires in Dhaka's Mirpur and Chattogram's EPZ area, this incident at the airport raises serious concern whether it was a mere accident or an act of sabotage," he said, demanding a proper, impartial, and prompt investigation into the incident. If negligence or foul play is found, those responsible must face exemplary punishment, he added. The Jamaat Ameer urged authorities to strengthen safety and fire prevention measures at all vital installations across the country, including airports.  Dr. Safiqur also expressed solidarity with the anxious passengers and sympathy for the affected importers and businesses and conveyed special gratitude to firefighters and all emergency responders involved in extinguishing the blaze.

NBR publishes authentic English text of Income Tax Act, 2023
DHAKA, Oct 18, 2025 (BSS) - The National Board of Revenue (NBR) has officially published the authentic English text of the Income Tax Act, 2023 through government gazette notification SRO No-404-Law/2025, dated October 16, 2025. The English version was released following continuous demands from foreign investors who sought an official government gazette publication of the authentic English text for clarity and legal reference. After the enactment of the Income Tax Act, 2023, which replaced the Income Tax Ordinance, 1984, foreign investors had expressed concern over the absence of an official English version. The lack of an authentic English text often created confusion in interpretation and compliance, leading to legal complications for foreign entities operating in Bangladesh, said an NBR press release.  According to the NBR, the publication of the authentic English text will now enable both local and foreign taxpayers to have a clear and transparent understanding of the law.  It is expected to boost investors' confidence, eliminate ambiguities in application, and ensure greater transparency and accuracy in tax administration. The NBR further informed that the authentic English texts of the Customs Act, 2023 and the Value Added Tax and Supplementary Duty Act, 2012 are in the final stages of preparation.  The revenue board expressed optimism that these English versions will also be published in the government gazette soon, fulfilling the long-standing demand of domestic and foreign investors alike.

Israel returns 15 Palestinian bodies to Gaza: Hamas-run health ministry
GAZA CITY, Palestinian Territories, Oct 18, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Israel returned the bodies of 15 Palestinians to Gaza on Saturday, bringing the total number handed over to 135, the health ministry in the Hamas-run territory said. Under a ceasefire deal brokered by US President Donald Trump, Israel was to turn over the bodies of 15 Palestinians for every deceased Israeli returned. Late on Friday, Hamas handed over the body of another Israeli hostage. Since the ceasefire began, Hamas has handed over the bodies of nine Israelis and one Nepalese student. The Gaza health ministry said that some of the bodies returned on Saturday bore signs of "abuse, beatings, handcuffing and blindfolding". The ministry made similar claims regarding other bodies previously returned under the ceasefire agreement. The Israeli military has said these claims were "Hamas's false propaganda". "Furthermore, all the bodies returned so far are from combatants within the Gaza Strip," it told AFP on Friday.
