Agriculture Officer Mostafizur Rahman and his close associate Deputy Assistant Agriculture Officer Amir Hossain are also the office colleagues who are overwhelmed by the generosity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A long day-long investigation has revealed a real picture of rampant irregularities, corruption and money laundering.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said that one inch of space in the country cannot be kept empty. Looting is taking place in the allocation given to the farmers to encourage cooperation by providing them with financial assistance, fertilizer seeds and pesticides. But due to lack of proper supervision and distribution the farmers are not getting the benefits.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The farmer does not know what quantity of materials the government is giving for him. Nine, six and eighteen are explaining to the farmers. In the investigation, such information has come out about the illegal corruption and money embezzlement of Matiranga Agriculture Officer Mostafizur Rahman and Deputy Assistant Agriculture Officer Amir Hossain. Low-quality inputs, seeds and fertilizers are used in family nutrition gardens. Capitalizing on the ignorance of farmers, maintenance costs are also kept low. Which on proper investigation will come out to be a bag cat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Under the tax-free revenue sector, the cashew nut project has given farmers 4,500 rupees instead of 6,000 rupees for carrying sheep and saplings for every 50 hundred acres of land. 1 thousand 500 taka instead of 2 thousand taka for each 33 century land in copy project, 2 thousand 400 taka has been given for old garden maintenance instead of 3 thousand two hundred taka. Fertilizers and insecticides are given with care.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the citrus \/ lemon cultivation project, 2 thousand 500 rupees have been given to the farmer for every 40 centuries of land, instead of 3 thousand two hundred rupees. Fertilizers and pesticides and other materials are given according to their own care.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After receiving the information of these irregularities and corruption of the agriculture office, the reporter requested information on the distribution of agricultural materials according to the rules on 24\/1\/2023 upazila agriculture officer, but without giving any information, Mostafizur Rahman said that there is no person to give information in our department. Subordinate Sub Assistant Agricultural Officers are very much in his discretion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Several Deputy Assistant Agriculture Officers, who did not want to be named, said that Mustafizur Rahman&#8217;s arbitrariness made it worse. If the farmers talk about harassment and irregularities, they are immediately transferred to different blocks of the upazila. Deputy Assistant Agriculture Officer Amir Hossain was placed in the convenience block for his personal and official work in that field.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nurrej Ma, a farmer of Barabil block, said, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know what is allocated for us, the agriculture office has given 15 lemon seedlings, 45 malt seedlings, 5 bottles of pesticides and 1200 rupees.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Abdul Barek, a farmer of Ward No. 2 of Matiranga municipality, said that for 10 acres of land, three types of fertilizers, 3 bottles of medicine, 10 lemon seedlings, 20 malt seedlings and 600 rupees were given in cash.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After sitting in the office for more than an hour, Upazila Agriculture Officer Mostafizur Rahman did not agree to comment. Just said, chemical fertilizers, organic fertilizers and tree seedlings are being distributed. I have work, can&#8217;t talk now. When asked to know the information about the distributed materials, he said, I don&#8217;t know the quantity. Papers should be opened and seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Khagrachari Correspondent: There has been rampant corruption, irregularities and misappropriation of money in Matiranga Upazila Agriculture Extension Department of Khagrachari hill district.
