Observer Online Report
State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Anindya Islam Amit has warned that no irregularities in fertiliser distribution will be tolerated, saying dealerships will be cancelled and those responsible brought to justice regardless of their political or other identities.
He made the remarks as the chief guest at a cheque distribution programme for distressed families and meritorious students from poor backgrounds at the Jashore Sadar Upazila Parishad auditorium on Friday (November 13).
The Bangladesh National Social Welfare Council funded the one-time financial assistance.
At the programme, the state minister handed over cheques worth Tk10,000 each to 200 distressed families and underprivileged meritorious students in the upazila, amounting to a total of Tk20 lakh.
Speaking at the event, Amit highlighted various government development initiatives in the healthcare sector in Jashore.
He said the Jashore Coronary Care Unit would become fully operational from next June. A kidney dialysis unit would also be introduced at Jashore General Hospital to ensure that ordinary people could access dialysis services through the government facility.
The government wants to ensure that no one is forced to discontinue medical treatment or meritorious students their education due to financial constraints, he added.
Speaking about transparency in government allowance distribution, Amit said people would no longer have to pay money or approach public representatives to receive government benefits, as was reportedly required in the past.
He warned that anyone who paid money to obtain an allowance would not receive a benefit card, while those accepting money would also face legal action.
"We want to ensure accountability to the people in every sector. Just as I will be accountable to you (the people), government officials will also be accountable to you," he said.
Jashore Sadar Upazila Nirbahi Officer Md Shahriar Haque presided over the programme.
Deputy Director of the District Social Services Office Aniruddha Kumar Roy, Jashore district BNP General Secretary Delwar Hossain Khokon, former Vice-President Golam Reza Dulu, former Joint Secretary Mizanur Rahman Khan, Sadar Upazila BNP Senior Vice-President Professor Abdar Hossain Khan, General Secretary Anzarul Haque Khokon and Organising Secretary Abdur Razzak, among others, attended the event.
