一 | Dhaka, Oct 11 (UNI) Bangladesh Federal Union of Journalists (BFUJ) and Dhaka Union of Journalists (DUJ) have raised questions over the issuance of a gazette notification declaring 29 government agencies and institutions as 'critical information infrastructure'.
The organisations have termed the gazette notification as an ulterior motive of the government and a new weapon to muzzle the freedom of media.
They also said this is another attack on the news media ahead of the next parliamentary election and demanded immediate cancellation of the gazette notification.
BFUJ president M Abdullah and secretary general Nurul Amin Rokon and DUJ president Kader Gani Chowdhury and general secretary Shahidul Islam made these remarks in a joint statement.
Journalist leaders said this gazette notification announcing critical information infrastructure is deceptive showing excuse of section 15 of Digital Security Act. The journalist community has rejected it.
They also said the government move will prevent independent journalism. This gazette notification is conflicting with the Right to Information Act.
If the list is scrutinised, it would be clear that the government has dishonesty and ill-motive behind the step.
Sensational and important agencies such as the national parliament, the judiciary, the audit department, the defence and home ministries are not included in the list.
The national election is schedule to be held the next year.
Among 29 agencies and institutions, there are names of banks and financial institutions and different organisations related to the elections.
There are names of agencies and institutions which are directly and indirectly related to the elections.
The journalist leaders alleged this gazette notification has been issued so that the journalists cannot collect or publish news related to this.
In the statement journalist leaders demanded the cancellation of all black laws including the Digital Security Act. They also made a demand to halt the initiative to amend the Press Council Act keeping a provision of monetary penalty for journalists.
As per section 15 of Digital Security Act, the post, telecommunication and information technology division issued a gazette notification on 21 September announcing 29 agencies and institutions as critical information infrastructure. The ICT division uploaded the gazette notification on its website on 26 September.
Information infrastructure is a computer system or network of some institutions or agencies, where information is stored. If anyone enters the critical information infrastructure, he or she will be sentenced to seven years or will be fined maximum Tk 2.5 million or the both.
If anyone illegally enters and damage or try to damage, he or she will be sentenced to 14 years or maximum Tk 10 million fined or the both.
ICT division said this information infrastructure will not be an obstacle for the people in gathering information.
Following the issuance of the gazette notification, different political parties and organisations protested against it.
Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) has termed the list questionable, confusing and inconsiderate. The organisation apprehends the misuse of the act.

8月16日，骑手们在“网约配送员读书角”休息、看书。日报记者 孙也达摄8月16日9时30分，外卖骑手张鑫把电动车停在秦皇岛四季青商圈楼下，快步走进刚挂牌没几天的“网约配送员读书角”。“利用送单早高峰与午高峰之间的空隙，可以多读读书。
三 | ”张鑫说。
四 | 张鑫是一名大学一年级学生。这个暑假，他回到老家秦皇岛兼职做起外卖骑手。
五 | “我有个心愿，就是休息时间能有地方看看书、给手机充充电。
六 | 我把心愿写在心愿墙上，没想到这么快就实现了。
七 | ”张鑫说。心愿墙是由海港区外卖行业党委在骑手驿站设置的一个沟通平台。骑手可以随时把微心愿贴在骑手驿站的墙上，工作人员定期收集，帮助骑手实现心愿。张鑫的心愿，也是很多骑手的共同期盼。海港区外卖行业党委书记杨杰介绍，了解到骑手的愿望后，海港区外卖行业党委与秦皇岛四季青集团开展联建，在商圈规划了专门空间，精心打造“网约配送员读书角”。
八 | 走进读书角，环境洁净雅致。几排书架上，整齐码着5000多册图书，涵盖社会、文学等多个品类，可以满足多元阅读需求。阅览长桌上配备了多组充电插口，墙上贴着免费无线网络账号和密码，设施齐全又贴心。
九 | “读书角集阅览、休息、饮水、充电、上网五项功能于一体。”杨杰说，企业出场地，社会捐赠加上企业购买图书，为骑手们提供了一处可以随时停靠的“精神驿站”。读书角的设立，是海港区外卖行业党委服务理念的一次升级。“以前对骑手的关怀，大多是自上而下的，我们觉得他们需要什么就干什么。
十 | 现在不一样了，我们依托心愿墙倾听骑手真实心声。骑手有需求，我们有行动，精准解决大家实际难题。”杨杰说。不止于读书角，越来越多骑手写下的微心愿正一个个实现。有骑手反映每年办理健康证体检排队麻烦、价格偏高，行业党委就联系秦皇岛中西医结合医院（港口医院）开通体检绿色通道，推行团购体检服务，把体检价格从150元降到了110元。“我们推行‘线上+线下’相结合的诉求收集形式，线上依托12315热线、微信群等渠道，随时收集骑手诉求，线下通过发放调查问卷、召开平台恳谈会等方式，倾听骑手心声。”杨杰说，自2023年5月以来，为骑手实现了200余个微心愿。（日报记者 孙也达）。
