Form anti-corruption bodies at local level

The ACC is going to adopt a new action plan to intensify the ongoing anti-corruption drive and the local committees would play a vital role in this regard, he said at a view exchange meeting at Bogra Zila School during his campaign against corruption in the northern region.

He also suggested forming anti-corruption committees in cooperation with the deputy commissioners and with the participation of professionals.

Terming the present environment conducive to anti-corruption drive, the ACC chairman urged all to forge a social movement against corruption. "There might not be the opportunity to raise voice against corruption after two years," he added.

He also said local people can take a strong stand against corrupt people through non-violent means and can raise mass awareness about it.

Chaired by Deputy Commissioner Abdul Ghani Mia, the meeting was also addressed by SP Jamil Ahmed, President of Bogra Chamber of Commerce and Industry Fazlur Rahman Paiker, Prof Mozammel Haq and Dhunat Pourasava Chairman Alimuddin.

At the meeting, the local people expressed their keen interest to be involved in the anti-corruption drive.
