Enhancing Shalish Efficiency through Elite Training
Speakers in a function here said capacity building up training for the elite could help perform the activities of shalish in an efficient way through managing the both disputed groups.
“ The benefits of arbitration are more because it is held at any place of any day informally and judgement is known within few hours after hearing both sides of the disputed groups. The judgement of formal court is a lengthy process because to get judgement the justice seekers are to wait long time. Apart from it, litigation in court is costly. So there is no alternative to popularizing the arbitration system in the society to get instant judgement and to avoid entanglement of cases in the public court”, they also said
They came up with the comments while they were addressing a concluding ceremony of 2-daylong capacity building training on Shalish for the elite at the training center of a non-government organization at Madnerpara area under Fulchhari upazila in the district on Saturday afternoon.

Joint district and session judges Kudrat-e- Khoda and Md. Abu Sayeed, and senior journalist Sarker Md. Shahiduzzaman addressed the function among others while regional project manager of Inclusive Citizenship Sector Nazmul Hossain moderated the ceremony.
