If suspended, he will not leave you, he will come to your house and commit suicide.’ This caused an uproar among the hunger strikers. He has reported the matter to the police. There is also an audio tape of the conversation between the two, in which the woman is clearly heard threatening Talathi.
“Leaving investigations to local people does not bring justice”
It is demanded to investigate and take action in the said malpractice at the senior level. But the system sends instructions to the same people to investigate and submit a report. In fact, all these wrongdoings involve misrepresentation of misleading and false information to superiors by colluders. This is what happened in the investigation at Andhali Navargaon, Arttondi. A false report has been sent to the Collector stating that illegal mining has not taken place even when there is direct evidence.
“Action on employees except officers”
The issue of sand smuggling in the district is serious. There is an outcry in every taluk about this. With the blessings of the authorities, this trafficker has been eliminated. So when it comes to action, there is dissatisfaction among the employees as the junior employees are being suspended. There is a discussion in the staff circle that this kind of thing is happening.
The condition of one of those who sat on hunger strike in front of Tehsil office in Kurkheda is critical. The police admitted him to the Upazila Hospital here. However, the administration is not ready to take action.
Raju Madavi, one of the two protestors who have been on hunger strike since last March 13 regarding illegal mining, suddenly fell ill at around 9.30 pm.
