Members of a BNP faction held a protest and human chain in Chatmohar, Pabna, alleging irregularities and corruption in the appointment of fertilizer dealers in four unions.
The human chain was held at 11 a.m. Monday, November 2, at the upazila council premises in the municipal town.

They demanded the immediate cancellation of the disputed dealerships and the appointment of genuine, experienced traders. They also called for a proper investigation into irregularities and corruption in the appointment process and for legal action.
Speakers included Chatmohar upazila BNP senior vice-president Principal Mahmudul Alam Mahmud, former municipal BNP convener A M Zakaria, former upazila BNP joint convener Rabiul Karim Tarek and former union chairmen Nazir Sarker and Golam Mawla. Former union BNP conveners Md Afsar Ali Navy, Dr Saiful Islam and Yasin Ali also spoke.
