Deed writers observe strike

A Correspondent, Gazipur
The deed writers observed four hours' strike accusing the sub-registrar of Sreepur of taking bribe through a staff by raising different objections about the land transfer documents written by the deed writers. The strike started at 9:00 am yesterday and continued till 1:00 pm. During the strike the deed writers did not submit any land documents to the sub-registrar. The deed writers including the former president of the Deed Writers Association Mofazzal Hossain and organising secretary Mosharraf Hossain Khan said, the sub-registrar raises objection about different documents through a copyist and takes the bribes. They said they made repeated objections to the ill practice but to no effect. The deed writers said when they protested the sub-registrar's activities they were threatened with cancellation of their licences.
