Bangladesh Bank (BB) is taking strict legal stand including operating mobile court to punish the people who are involved in producing fake notes and circulating those in public to make their fortune.

“We are planning necessary changes to the existing rules and regulations to bring people behind bar who are responsible for forging currency notes,” a high BB official told BSS yesterday.

He said the changes would empower the central bank operate mobile court with support from the law enforcing agencies to punish people in a faster process for forging currency notes.

The official said the respective committee of the central bank would sit on Thursday with authorities concerned to discuss about the necessary changes and take effective steps to protect people from incurring loss to currency forgery.
