Nazmul Huda Parvez visited Dighalkandi Asylum Center in Ashtamirchar Union, Chilmari.
When the river is eroding in the coral grass of the Brahmaputra river, when people’s houses are floating in the river. Where will the helpless people go with their families? Where to take refuge? – Disoriented thinking that. In such a situation, when the local representatives including the local administration are supposed to stand by the families of the people and the people of Banavasi, the common people have complained against them. The Banavasi and Nadibhanga families are taking shelter in a house built by the shelter center only after taking Rs 5,000 to Rs 10,000 from Gulon as they have to pay UNO.
The incident took place at the newly constructed Dighalkandi Asylum Project in Khodbanshpatar area of Ashtmirchar Union in Chilmari Upazila of Kurigram.
In the village of Khodda Bansapatar in Ashtamirchar area, river erosion has been intensifying since about 10/12 days ago. Just a few days ago, the government constructed 100 pucca tin sheds on the ground under the Dighalkandi Asylum Project a short distance from the village, but before the ongoing floods, the poor and homeless were not officially selected by the administration and the Union Parishad. . Recently, when severe river erosion occurred in the village itself, the eroded families started breaking into their houses and taking shelter in the shelter. At the same time, the people of two UP members and a reserved female member alleged that they could not move into the house or the house would not be allotted if they did not give money to the administration.
Mosha: Jelemon Bewa, 65, wife of late Kabed Ali of Khodda Banspatar village, who took shelter there, told this correspondent, “I broke into the house 5/6 days ago. I am saying, I have no employees, no sons, no rice, I work in other people’s houses. Don’t give a house without money. Being late to pay puts pressure on me. I am picking maize corn on the laiga char to raise this taka. Maize tuilla father, with oranges, how many farmers? That is why I am trying to provide Taha with great difficulty, after all I am going to this house with Taha.
Asiya Khatun, 60, wife of Bajaj Sheikh of Banshpatar village, said it had been five days since the house was demolished. I gave 5 hanjara taka to running member Selim’s sister-in-law Mukul to get up at home. Moreover does not let up.
Md. Rahmat Ali (48) of Banspatar village said, I have been demolishing my house for 5 days and I am getting up at home. I have already given the money to Selim’s sister-in-law Mukul, a member of Ward 9.
Sufia Khatun, 45, wife of Sorab Ali, who broke the river in the same village, said she was breaking the house last Friday. Howlat-barat kaira taka dichi. Michha kata kabar pamuna. I don’t know if Beta Chava (husband) gave the crow. The husband has gone to work, there is no ahan. I am a resident of 6th ward.
Who is Md. Abdul Barek, son of the deceased Mancher Ali of the same village, who gave money to someone? I didn’t pay any money to Kair. Forced to tell the truth, the representative told Barek, “If you don’t pay, you can’t stay in the government house.” You have to pay to stay here. Moreover, the chairman, members and the administration will fence you and put another person in this room. As soon as he heard this, the truth came out of Abdul Barek’s mouth, he said, I have been here for three days. I also gave some taka. Who gave it? I have given ten thousand taka to Juran, the brother of the member of 9th ward. He said that he would eat it if he wanted to.
Sabina 925, wife of Azizur, a resident of Khodda Bansh Patar village, said, “I gave five thousand taka to Mukul. Sanaul, son of late Habibur Rahman, said that Belal Dewani’s son Alamre was paying Rs 5,000. Alam Selim is a friend of the member. He has taken my money by saying that I have to give it to UNO, Chairman, members. At this time 30-35 men and women present in the shelter said in unison, what else will you hear? Thaika has taken the same amount of money from everyone.
When I first spoke to Golam Azam, a member of Ward 7, on the phone, he said, “I am sick.” I didn’t raise money myself, I didn’t raise it by anyone else. But Selim, the new member of Ward 9, has raised money through 5-6 people. UP chairman Sohrab Hossain told me that Selim should not make money, those who took money from the net should return the money quickly. That’s what I told Selim. I know if he returned.
Talking to Selim, a member of Ward 9, he told this correspondent that there was a conspiracy against these people. He did not take money from anyone or anyone with him. However, Mukul admits that his sister-in-law, Juran is his brother and Alam is his friend.
When I asked Ashtamirchar UP Chairman Md. Sohrab Hossain about this, he got angry and said, “Why don’t the piglets give me the ring, who wants money? Why is he giving money to whom? If you can tell me why no one tells me before the chairman gives me money? The shelter has not yet been officially inaugurated. I will take UNO tomorrow (today is Tuesday). I will inaugurate and introduce people. In the meantime, they have introduced people. I told Golam Azam, a member of Ward 7, that some people from Jugnidaha had complained to me that Selim was taking money. You go and tell the Selim member to stop withdrawing money and to return the money he has taken. Now it is difficult to recover the money. I went there and saw Kyle.
Chilmari Upazila Nirbahi Officer went to Dighalkandi Asylum Center on Tuesday to inaugurate. At the time of writing this report, when asked about his name and the names of the chairpersons on his mobile phone, he said, “I have sex with the journalist of Nine Television Channel Md. Alamgir Hossain.” Did he ask people about it? No one has admitted it.
The representative told the executive, “I have the video record of the complaint they made yesterday.” In response, he said, “I told the refugees not to give money to anyone.” The representative then told the executive officer Md. Mahbubur Rahman that the complainants had said that they had taken the money from you and the UP chairman long ago. There was a trade of about 5 lakh rupees. On hearing this, he said, “Oh, is that so?” He cut the line without saying another word.
