The Local Government and Rural Development (LGRD) Ministry has suspended a Union Parishad chairman in Chattogram and two members in Natore and Narayanganj over allegations of stealing rice allocated by the government for distribution among people as relief amid fallout from coronavirus outbreak.

At least 21 people, including a former union parishad chairman, were sued over the arson attack on a Hindu family in Takhurgaon Sadar on Friday.
