The adviser to the ministries of local government, labour and manpower, Anwarul Iqbal, Sunday said the government would promulgate an ordinance within a week to bring the port users, workers and employees under two bodies instead of the exiting 27 organisations.

'The port users will be brought under one umbrella instead of existing 22 organisations and the workers and employees will be brought under another umbrella instead of their existing five organisations,' he added.

The adviser was addressing as chief guest an exchange of views with leaders of different port user and workers and employees' organisations at the Chittagong Circuit House in the morning.

With the deputy commissioner, Ashraf Shamim, in the chair, the meeting was addressed, among others, by Chittagong Port Authority chairman Commodore M Fareque, commissioner of the Chittagong Metropolitan Police M Akbar Ali, commanding officer of RAB-7 Hasinur Rahman and representatives of different trade and labour bodies.

The adviser said the government had taken the initiative to reduce the number of organisations to accelerate activities at the Chittagong and Mongla ports.
