Khulna Office :-
When the fascist Awami government fell in the mass movement of students on August 5, 2024, Awami Raghav Boal went into hiding fearing public anger, from Union Parishad members across the country. But due to long absconding, the interim government was forced to appoint administrators to ensure public civil services from the Union Parishad to the City Corporation. But after the 13th National Assembly elections, the fugitive UP chairmen of Awami League in some unions of Khulna have become active to regain their positions.
Four chairmen have already applied to the Deputy Commissioner for the return of their posts. It has been alleged that some local leaders of the district and upazila levels are behind the scenes in exchange of money to bring back these chairmen.
In a circular signed by Sheikh Raihana Islam, Assistant Commissioner of Khulna District Commissioner's Office, due to the absence of the regular UP Chairman of No. 4 Kailashganj Union Parishad of Dakop Upazila of Khulna District, the appointed administrator of the district administration was canceled and the President of Ward No. 6 of Kailashganj Union and Vice-President of Union Awami League, Awami Selection Panel Chairman-1 Prabir Kumar Mandal was given the duty of Acting Chairman of No. 4 Kailashganj Union. This has caused mixed reactions and anger in the public mind. And standing over the blood of the July fighters, the fascist establishment is desperate and the libertarian masses believe that fascist power is prone to rise.
It is known that Assistant Commissioner of Khulna Local Government Branch Rubayet Ahmed UP Chairman of Kailashganj Union Parishad of Dakop Upazila of Khulna District and Organizing Secretary of Upazila Awami League Mihir Mondal is absent. provided He was serving his duties with devotion.People were getting the civic benefits they wanted. But on January 28, 2025, Union Selection Panel Chairman-1 Prabir Kumar Mandal was given temporary responsibility with financial and administrative powers. In the face of student-public agitation, a notice signed by District Assistant Commissioner Rubayet Ahmed was published on January 29, appointing Upazila Animal Resources Officer as administrator of Kailashganj Union. After the 13th National Assembly elections on March 4, the controversial panel chairman-1 Prabir Kumar Mandal has been given the responsibility of acting chairman of Kailashganj Union No. 4.
In addition to the mixed reaction among the public on the matter, intense discussions and criticisms have started in local politics.
Meanwhile, the angry local residents are collecting mass signatures to apply to the Khulna District Commissioner for the appointment of an administrator by canceling the newly announced Acting Chairman in No. 4 Kailashganj Union Parishad.
According to local sources, after the fall of Sheikh Hasina's government on August 5, 2024, like the rest of the country, Awami League representatives also fled Khulna. Some cover their heads. The service stopped. Then the district administration appointed administrators to manage the normal activities of the various union councils and ensure the civic benefits of the public. But due to some unknown reason, the ongoing activities were disrupted and the Awami fascists were given the responsibility of the acting chairman. There is a new fear among the public that fascism activities are going to be established again.
Molla Mujibur Rahman, a resident of Ward No. 6, said, "We are disappointed that Praveer Kumar Mandal has been made acting chairman. How the friend of Awami League came back again. He is a corrupt person. Government pond road work money has been taken for nominal work. I have applied to the upazila executive officer in this regard.
Tapas Mondal, a resident of Ward No. 1, said that several allegations of misappropriation of government funds in the name of various projects through arbitrariness and corruption against Prabir Kumar Mondal have been lodged with the UNO and the District Commissioner. Lifting 05 tons of rice of the project without digging the Bhutemari Canal of Ward No. 6,1,20,000/= of the project without construction of Hari Mandir in front of Ajay Mandal's house of Ward No. 6, misappropriation of 09 tons of rice of Kabikha project without building a road with mud and bricks from pitch road to Solaiman Faraji's house in the direction of Solaiman Farazi's house in Ward No. 6. In the 6th Ward too, in the name of renovating the sports ground of CARE, about 0.5 lakh rupees was blocked in 2 times, only lakhs of rupees work was done there. Allegations of taking 2/3 thousand rupees per VGD card and forgery of VGD card by taking money from many poor and helpless people are on everyone's lips. He took Rs 500/1000 in TCB card scam and siphoned off lakhs from old age, widow disability allowance, but said nothing but showed muscle power and made various threats. There is unrest in the area due to the appointment of the corrupt Praveer Kumar Mandal as the acting chairman, due to stubborn decisions, untoward incidents may happen, who will take the responsibility?
Prabir Kumar Mandal, Acting Chairman of No. 4 Kailashganj Union, told BanglaNews that the allegations against me are not true. Earlier, I used to join the party of Nani Gopal Mondal, the former Member of Parliament of Khulna-1 Constituency. Besides, we had no conflict between Awami and BNP here. We were people of Nani Gopal's ideals. Now my current MP Aamir Ejaz Khan likes it. Now I am doing Ejaz Saheb's team.
