Liberation War Affairs Minister AKM Mozammel Huq has expressed concern about students using mobile phones and internet after midnight.
He said that government should take initiative to shut down the internet after 12am. However, special arrangements can be made for people who work under foreign companies in Bangladesh.
He made the remarks during his speech as the chief guest at a meeting at Dhaka University on Saturday.
“The way they (students) focus more on their mobile phones and internet rather than their education is a matter of concern for the nation. I think, in the future, the nation will become talentless,” the minister added.
AKM Mozammel also warned of a potential shortage of experts if universities do not increase their research.
