Village police members forms
human chain in Joypurhat
MASRAKUL ALOM, JOyPURHAT CORReSPONDeNT:
The village police members organized a
human chain program in Joypurhat as a
central program to demand the
nationalization of the job of the law and
order-maintaining village police force of the
Union Parishad under the Ministry of Local
Government. Around 300 village police of all
union parishads of the district participated in
an hour-long human chain in front of the
office of the district commissioner on
Tuesday afternoon.
Bangladesh Village Police Force
Employees Union Joypurhat District Branch
President Elias Hossain, Vice President
Ruhul Amin, General Secretary Delowar
Hossain, Joint General Secretary Saiful
Islam, Organizing Secretary Dilip Kumar
and Women Affairs Secretary Rasheda
Begum and other leaders spoke during the
human chain movement.
The speakers in the human chain said that
the village police are recognized employees
of the republic. The members of the village
police engaged in law and order
maintenance at the marginal village level
perform 24-hour duty in about 70 types of
work under the government's instructions.
But we are deprived of fair value according to
labor.
A Daffadar of village police gets a salary
of only 7 thousand taka, and a Mahalladar
gets 6 thousand 500 taka. Local
Government Ministry bears 50 percent of
this salary and Union Parishad bears 50
percent from its own income. Among
these, even if we get the 50% from the
government in time, we do not get the
other 50% in time. We are living really
abysmal life due to the price hike in daily
amenities and our salary being due.
That's why we are demanding the
nationalization of our job to the government.
Under the leadership of the president of
Bangladesh Village Police Forces Workers
Association Joypurhat Branch, Elias
Hossain, a manuscript was given to Prime
Minister Sheikh Hasina through District
Commissioner MD Shariful Islam.

One arrested for raping a
70 year old woman
MASUDUL HASAN MASUD, BHUAPUR CORReSPONDeNT:
In Tangail's Bhuapur, a 70-year-old woman
was raped by a neighbor who called her for
work and held her hands and face in the
cowshed saying that her wife was not at
home. In this incident, on Monday morning,
Abdur Rashid, the brother of the old woman,
filed a rape case against the accused against
a person named
Ibrahim (45) at the
Bhuapur police station.
Police arrested him
later in the afternoon.
Earlier on October 13 in
Gabsara Union of
Upazila, the incident
took place in Jamura's
remote pasture area of
Megharpatal village.
The accused is the
son of Ibrahim Ashar
Ali. He is the father of
one son and one
daughter. According to
the complaint, the
accused Ibrahim came to the woman's house
at 9 am on October 13 and said that his wife
was not at home. Later, when he went home,
Ibrahim asked her to sweep the cow dung
and yard. The old woman was sweeping the
barn after cleaning the cows. At one point,
Ibrahim entered the cowhouse, threw her on
the ground, held her hands and face and
forcibly raped her. Later he threw her out of
the house. On his way out of there to his
house, she met a neighbor woman on the
road and informed him about the incident.
Then she went home and told her son's wife
the details of the incident.
Her brother Rashid informed the
community leader and the matabbars about
this. Later, instead of trying to mediate in a
domestic manner, they quarreled. The
victim's family did not get
justice in the arbitration.
The nephew of the old
woman Abu said that the
village arbitration was held
5 days after Ibrahim's
family was informed. The
arbitrators did not settle
and agreed to sit another
day. Ibrahim's family,
being brilliant, managed
the Matabbars. Confirming
this fact, local UP member
Alam Sheikh said, after
hearing the unfortunate
incident, I ask the victim's
family to take legal recourse
and I am assisting them as a public
representative.
In this regard, Bhuapur police station
officer-in-charge (OC) Mohammad Faridul
Islam said that the accused person Ibrahim
was arrested and sent to Tangail court after
getting the initial facts of the incident. And
the woman has been sent to Tangail General
Hospital for medical examination.
Bodies of eight workers, who went missing after a dredger sank in the Bay of Bengal were recovered
from the Bay off the coast of Mirsarai in Chattogram on Tuesday.
