LGRD and Cooperatives Minister Abdul Mannan Bhuiyan and State Minister of the ministry Ziaul Huq Zia attended the meeting.

The meeting also directed the officials concerned to dispose of files in two days, take action against corrupt officials and employees and enquire into news items on corrupt practices published in different dailies.

The meeting was told that the transfer order of officials and employees should not be considered as punitive steps. In this regard the person accused of corruption should be temporarily sacked, if necessary, and measures should be taken against him or her through quick investigation.

The meeting directed all the service-oriented organisations to enhance their quality of service and involve the people with field level activities.
