The High Court on Sunday asked the authorities to administer coronavirus vaccines to Bangladeshi students going abroad for studies on priority basis.
The single-judge bench of Justice M Enayetur Rahim directed Attorney General AM Amin Uddin or the concerned court's Deputy Attorney General Samarendra Nath Biswash to contact the directorate general of health services over this issue.
The directive came after lawyer SK Jahangir Alam sought court's intervention in arranging Covid-19 vaccines for the students who want to go abroad for education.
The court asked the deputy attorney general to talk to the directorate without waiting for an order since for most students going abroad the academic sessions begin in August and September.
The court also directed lawyer Jahangir to submit an application in this regard at the DGHS.
