Boro land crops. Construction of submerged dams to protect farmers' crops in 12 upazilas of the district
The government has allocated Rs 127 crore this year for 588 kilo submersible dams through the 687 PIC committee.
The money has been allocated. At the beginning of the meeting of the District Crop Protection Monitoring Committee in 2023,
The damming work started on 53 haors in the district on December 15th and was completed by February 28th of this year.
The dam work was supposed to be completed and grass was planted. But the administration and water development
Officials' concealment and 90 percent of all haor dam work has been completed so far
The leaders protested against such false information.
The leaders visited the dams of various haors and found that on average 50 to 60 percent of the work has been completed till today. Stating that there are only two days left, February 28, 100 percent of the work will not be completed by this date, they said that in the past years, the Water Development Board has been claiming the involvement of political party leaders, but now
A neutral caretaker government is running the country. So, in whose collusion is the committee in exchange for what?
Looting is going on in the name of binding the commission trade through the payment of commission. Let's talk about the issues.
Demand the government to take legal action against corrupt officials.
Otherwise, if this time too, the golden harvest of farmers is drowned due to corruption in the Haor Crop Protection Bandh
Then the leaders issued a warning to surround the administration, the Water Development Board, and other relevant corrupt officials, including filing cases against them.
