Poor tourists to get 50pc umbrella seats

HC asks govt to ensure it free of cost at Cox's Baxar sea beach

The High Court yesterday ordered the authorities concerned to take steps so that insolvent tourists can use 50 percent of the umbrella seats at Cox's Bazar sea beach at free of cost.

Issuing a suomoto rule, the court asked the respondents to mark 50 percent of the umbrella seats, known as Kitkot chair, with red colour and thereby ensure that poor tourists can use those at free of cost. The court asked the respondents to explain why collecting unreasonable rents from tourists for using the Kitkot chairs should not be declared illegal. 

Civil aviation and tourism secretary, chairman of Bangladesh Pajatan Corporation, deputy commissioner and superintendent of police of Cox's Bazar, and mayor of Cox's Bazar municipality have been made respondents to the rule.

The bench of Justice Quamrul Islam Siddique and Justice Sheikh Hassan Arif came up with the order and rule after hearing an argument from Supreme Court lawyer Barrister Ruhul Quddus Kazal.
