Dhaka, May 6 -- The proposed Land Zoning and Protection Act is likely to be enacted within the next couple of months, Syeda Rizwana Hasan, adviser of the ministries of environment, forests, climate change, and water resources, said on Monday.

"We are hopeful that we will be able to pass the agricultural land protection law within two to three months," she said, adding that an inter-ministerial meeting regarding the law has already taken place.

"It will be made available for public consultation, following another inter-ministerial meeting, before the law is enacted," she said.

She came up with the announcement at a discussion titled 'Agricultural Produce and Life-Nature', organised by leading Bangla daily Bonik Barta at a city hotel.
