We must find a way to keep the administration away from the negative influence of politics and corruption.  Through discussions with everyone, a report will be prepared on possible actions to be taken in the long, medium, and short term for public administration reform and submitted to the government.  Participants in the exchange of views said that it would be easier to build a people-friendly administration if citizens were empowered.  Government employees must be compassionate, pro-people, or people’s friends toward those seeking service. At the same time, the administration must be kept away from the influence of politics at all costs.  It is also necessary to ensure that the political government is not run by the administration.  The meeting was speech on  Upazila Executive Officer Akash Kumar Kundu, Assistant Commissioner Land Apratim Kumar Chakraborty, Fisheries Officer Bapi Kumar Das, Agriculture Officer Tarun Kumar Bala, Police Station Officer-in-Charge Investigation Md.
