BNP stages protest at UNO office premises demanding demolition of illegal structures on canals in Mirsarai

 

Mirsarai (Chattogram) Correspondent
 
In Mirsarai of Chattogram, Krishak Dal and locals staged a sit-in and protest demanding the demolition of illegal structures occupying various canals and the restoration of the canals.
 
The program were held  at 11am on Thursday in front of the UNO office premises, organized by the Upazila unit of Krishak Dal.
 
Speakers at the event strongly demanded that the canals be restored within a week to relieve the people of various unions from waterlogging. Otherwise, they warned of tougher programs to come. Later, the Upazila Assistant Commissioner (Land) arrived at the protest site and assured the protesters of canal restoration, after which the program concluded.
 
The program was presided over by Upazila Krishak Dal Convener Ashraf Uddin and conducted by Mirsarai Upazila Jubo Dal leader Mohammad Sumon. The chief guest’s speech was delivered by former Member Secretary of Upazila BNP Gazi Nizam Uddin.
 
Among the special guests delivering speeches were former General Secretary of Upazila BNP Mohammad Alamgir, former Chairman Rafiquzzaman, former Convener of Mirsarai Municipal BNP Mahiuddin, Member Secretary Zahid Hossain, former Upazila BNP Member Shahinul Islam Swapon, Upazila Jubo Dal Convener Kamal Uddin, Upazila Swechchhasebak Dal Member Secretary Shah Md. Forkan Uddin Chowdhury, Upazila Krishak Dal Member Secretary Abu Daud, former Joint Convener of Moghadiya Union BNP M. Helal Uddin, Mayani Union BNP leader Sohag Bhuiyan, Shoaib Hasan, and other leaders.
 
The speakers said that a few days ago, BADC began excavation of the Govonia Canal. However, to protect illegal structures built over the canal in the Abutorab Bazar area, the restoration was not done there. As a result, even slight rain causes Abutorab Bazar and the Bartakia-Abutorab road to go underwater. If the illegal structures are not demolished and the canals restored immediately, people from Moghadiya, Mayani, and Khaiyachhara unions will unite and remove the structures themselves.
 
Mirsarai Upazila Assistant Commissioner (Land) Saiful Islam said, “It’s not just the people’s suffering, it’s our suffering too. In the interest of the public, we will soon demolish all illegal structures and begin canal restoration to ensure proper water drainage.”
