Freedom fighters demanded the transfer of Jibannagar Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) of Chuadanga on Tuesday.
The freedom fighters of Jibannagar upazila organized a press conference on Tuesday afternoon to inform the journalists about the indecent behavior of the Upazila Nirbahi Officer in the hall room of Jibannagar Upazila Muktijoddha Complex building.
Golam Mortuza, a freedom fighter and former Jibannagar upazila AL president, said: “UNO Md Rokunozzaman has been misbehaving with local freedom fighters since joining. He’s often late in providing certificates to the freedom fighters. We, freedom fighters, have to go to him all the time for allowances and other issues.”
Earlier, the local freedom fighters called for a human chain demanding the transfer of the Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO). However, they postponed it at the last minute after getting assurance from the additional deputy commissioner and decided to hold a press conference at the Jibannagar Upazila Muktijoddha Complex building.
Freedom Fighter Dalil Uddin said, "The UNO always treats us badly. As freedom fighters, we don’t deserve this.”
UNO Md Rokunozzaman declined to comment on the matter.
Meanwhile, Additional Deputy Commissioner Kabir Hossain said: "We have talked to the freedom fighters and also reached out to the local MP. The matter will be resolved within the next seven days.”
