'Take action against land grabbers'

Bss, Dhaka
The first meeting of the national executive committee to monitor the reception of complaints and inquiry into those complaints of grabbing land properties was held yesterday with Cabinet Secretary Dr. Sadat Hussain in the chair.

The meeting urged the district committees to take remedial measures against the land grabbers and prevent grabbing of land properties by an individual or an organisation.

It also recommended that administrative and criminal action

be taken against government officials and employees if found involved in such grabbing.

The meeting asked the district committees to hold meeting on or before 8th of every month and send the resolutions to the land ministry immediately.

If any one aggrieved with the decisions of the district committee, he could file an appeal with the national committee, the meeting said.

The meeting also decided that the deputy police commissioner of any metropolitan area would be included as a member of the district committee instead of the police superintendent.
