In response to ongoing instability in Bangladesh, the interim government has granted commissioned army officers special magisterial powers for two months to maintain law and order. These powers include issuing search and arrest warrants, dispersing large gatherings, and using military force if necessary. This move follows the ousting of the Sheikh Hasina-led government and a notable absence of police forces amid widespread unrest. The new measures aim to address public disorder, including attacks on minority communities and disruptions in industrial areas. Army officials will operate under sections of the Code of Criminal Procedure, ensuring their actions are legally grounded. The interim government emphasizes that these powers are necessary to restore stability and prevent subversive acts.
