Our Correspondent, Gaibandha
Several hundred people in Sundarganj upazila brought out a procession and formed a human chain yesterday demanding removal of UNO for his alleged irregularities carried out in the name of mobile court. Organisd by an Awami League led alliance, the protesters threatened to call tougher programmes like hartal if the demand was not met within seven days. The speakers said upazila nirbahi officer Delwer Hossain often harassed local traders in the name of mobile court and demanded toll from them. Regarding the issue, Delwar said they brought the charges against him after a case was filed against upazila AL unit president on charge of assaulting Abdur Rashid, peon of the UNO office on Thursday.
