Monday, 26 April 2010
CHANDPUR, Apr 25 (UNB): Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina asked Sunday the authorities concerned to take measurers against the farming of piranha and African cat-fish (Magur), as these fishes destroyed the local fish varieties.
She gave the directions during a view-exchange meeting with the district officials held at the circuit house here.
Deputy Commissioner (DC) Priyotosh Saha presided over the meeting where Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister MA Karim and Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad were present, among others.
The Prime Minister asked the district administration to ensure all sorts of facilities for the people who lived in the Char areas.
She said that the water development board should look into the effect and impact of their projects before implementing any new project.
She also said that the paperwork for any development project should be completed during the monsoon season while the implementation work should be done during the dry season.
Hasina strictly directed the district administration to avoid any sort of corruption and irregularities while distributing rice among the fishermen while they were barred from fishing.
"We have to look after the fishermen's families, especially how they will live during the season when the government restricts them from fishing," she said.
In this connection she said that the amount of rice allocated to each family had increased from 10 kg to 30 kg per month. Regarding sand extraction, the Prime Minister said that this should be done in a planned way so that the river was not affected. She directed the BTCL officials to work sincerely to distribute Internet connections at the grassroots level as the government was committed to building a 'Digital Bangladesh'.
