Bangladesh Army launches road construction in Jungle Salimpur
Bangladesh Army launches road construction in Jungle Salimpur
CHATTOGRAM, June 8, 2026 (BSS) - The government has launched a major infrastructure initiative to bring Jungle Salimpur in Sitakunda upazila of Chattogram, long affected by the presence of criminal groups, under full administrative control. As part of the drive, the Bangladesh Army's 34 Construction Brigade began construction work on four roads last Thursday under high-level directives.  Lt Col Md. Kamrul Al Masud, Commander of the 26 Engineer Construction Battalion (ECB) disclosed the development at a views-exchange meeting today. The planned road network includes routes from Chhinnamul to Alinagar High School, Alinagar to the Dhaka-Chattogram highway, and Alinagar via the BMA area to the Chattogram-Khagrachhari highway, along with an internal road system within the locality. Officials said the 3,100-acre area had long remained outside effective state control due to the influence of armed criminal groups, which severely restricted mobility and development activities. The current initiative follows a recent government decision to restore law and order and ensure administrative access in the area. The project, funded by the Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) under the DPM system, will also include the construction of bridges, culverts, drainage systems, and retaining walls. Work on the project is expected to be completed within six to seven months. Law enforcement agencies, including the Army, police, Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), and Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), are jointly providing security during implementation. Local residents said the road construction would significantly improve access to education, healthcare, and markets, and is expected to open up new opportunities for trade and development in the long-neglected area.

US demands Iran give UN nuclear watchdog access: draft resolution
US demands Iran give UN nuclear watchdog access: draft resolution
VIENNA, June 8, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - The United States is demanding Iran provide "precise" information on its enriched uranium stockpile and give the UN nuclear agency access "without delay", according to a draft resolution seen by AFP on Monday. The draft resolution is expected to be submitted for a vote this week to the board of governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that started meeting on Monday. Last week, the IAEA in a confidential report reiterated that the lack of access to nuclear sites in Iran constituted a "proliferation concern". The draft resolution affirms that it is "essential and urgent" that Iran "without delay" provides the agency with "precise information on nuclear material accountancy and safeguarded nuclear facilities in Iran". Tehran must also "grant the agency all access it requires to verify this information", it adds. To be passed, the draft resolution needs to be submitted and approved by the 35-member IAEA board of governors. In a press conference after opening the board of governors' meeting, IAEA head Rafael Grossi said he had "sporadic contacts with the foreign minister (of Iran) and others, but basically the channel of communication is broken". "Of course, when you have active shelling or bombing, inspections are not possible, but there are many things that can be done. And the important thing is this dialogue," he said. The IAEA has not had access to some key nuclear facilities in Iran since Israel, joined by the United States, launched a 12-day conflict in June 2025 that included strikes on nuclear sites. Nuclear facilities have also been hit in the latest war, which erupted on February 28. The IAEA has repeatedly urged access. Prior to US strikes in June 2025, the IAEA calculated that Iran possessed approximately 440 kilogrammes (970 pounds) of uranium enriched to 60 percent. This is close to the 90 percent needed to make a bomb and well above the 3.67-percent limit set by a now-defunct 2015 agreement with Iran. The fate of this stockpile is uncertain. Israel and the United States have long accused Iran of wanting to build a nuclear weapon. Tehran has repeatedly denied having any military ambitions, insisting on its right to the technology for civilian purposes. On Saturday, Iran denounced as a "tool of political pressure" the report by the IAEA expressing concern over its lack of access to Iranian nuclear sites.

Remittance inflow remains strong with 18.45pc FY growth
Remittance inflow remains strong with 18.45pc FY growth
DHAKA, June 8, 2026 (BSS) - Bangladesh continues to witness robust remittance inflows in the current fiscal year, with expatriate Bangladeshis sending over $33.63 billion during the period from July 2025 to June 7, 2026, marking an impressive 18.45 percent growth compared to the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year. According to the latest data from Bangladesh Bank released today, remittance inflow reached $33.63 billion till June 7 of FY2025-26, up from $28.39 billion received during the same period of FY2024-25. On June 7, 2026, expatriates sent $187.77 million through official banking channels, reflecting the continued contribution of overseas workers to the country's foreign exchange reserves. During the first seven days of June, remittance inflow totaled $871.14 million. Although this was lower than the $883.37 million received during the corresponding period last year, officials noted that the overall fiscal-year performance remains highly encouraging, driven by sustained growth in remittance transfers throughout the year. Economists view the continued rise in remittance inflows as a positive development for the economy, helping strengthen foreign exchange reserves, support import payments, and bolster macroeconomic stability amid global economic uncertainties. The latest figures reaffirm remittance's role as one of the country's key economic pillars, providing crucial support to millions of households and contributing significantly to Bangladesh's overall economic resilience.
