Leaders and activists of the BNP and its affiliated organisations have held a human chain demanding the cancellation of a fertiliser dealer’s appointment in Kazihal union of Fulbari upazila, Dinajpur. They allege corruption, nepotism, money changing hands and the involvement of Awami League leaders and activists in the appointment.
The human chain was organised by Kazihal union BNP and its affiliated organisations at Atpukur Haat in the upazila on Sunday morning (18 October).
