13 February 2017: the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's cabinet gave the go-ahead for the Civil Aviation Operation Act 2017 to be debated in Parliament. The proposal aims to update the country's decades-old Civil Aviation Order, which was adopted in the 1960s. According the government spokesman Mohammad Shafiul Alam, under the legislation, an act to willfully obstruct a flight would be punishable with life in prison or the death sentence and a fine of 50 million taka (631,313 dollars). "Any action disrupting smooth operation of aircrafts and jeopardizing people's lives will be considered a serious crime," Alam said. (Source: EBLNews, 13/02/2017; https://eblnews.com/news/
