The information minister, Abul Kalam Azad, has said steps will be taken to form the 8th wage board soon for journalists and newspaper employees after discussion with all stakeholders.
The minister said this while replying to a question from treasury bench member Sadhana Halder at the Jatiya Sangsad on Thursday.
Replying to a supplementary raised by Awami League lawmaker Apu Ukil, the minister said the allegation of reducing viewers of the state-owned Bangladesh Television was not correct.
He said BTV used to plan programmes considering the demand of the total population of the country. Describing BTV as the most popular TV channel in Bangladesh, he said BBC World Trust in a study last year found BTV as a popular channel.
Besides, he said the government had been implementing various programmes for further improving the standard of the programmes of BTV.
Replying to a written question from lawmaker M Harunur Rashid from Chandpur-4, the minister said the matter of telecasting the Bangladesh's TV channels in all states of India was under process.
