Sohel Rana, Mymensingh
Home Affairs and Agriculture Advisor Retired Lieutenant General Md. Jahangir Alam said, “There is no tension on the border now. The situation is fairly normal now. They (BSF) are not building barbed wire fences. It can be said that the situation is largely stable.”
He said, “In order to restore peace, there will be discussions between the DGs of BGB and BSF next month. Since we have some uneven agreements, they will be discussed there. Before that, a letter will also be given to them (BSF) from the ministry on how to resolve the uneven ones.”
He made these remarks in response to questions from journalists after exchanging views with officials of the Mymensingh Division’s law enforcement and agriculture departments at the Shahabuddin Auditorium of the City Corporation on Tuesday (January 14) afternoon.
Stating that there is no shortage of fertilizer, Advisor Jahangir Alam said, “And if anyone tries to create an artificial shortage of fertilizer, then action will be taken against them. If any dealer is involved in these things, then their dealership will be closed from next month. They will not be given any concessions under any circumstances. Farmers are the lifeblood of the country, they will definitely get fertilizer at a fair price.”
Among others present at the event were Mymensingh Divisional Commissioner Moktar Ahmed, Range DIG Dr. Ashrafur Rahman, and officials from the Agriculture Department and other departments.
