No one can be resettled far away against his will

He said that all the real landless and homeless people of the country are being rehabilitated on the instructions of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. However, a family cannot be resettled against their will unless they want to be resettled somewhere away from their permanent address. Only those willing to be resettled voluntarily should be resettled in any place designated by the government in the upazila.

He said these things in a meeting organized with the aim of 100 percent rehabilitation of landless and homeless 'A' category families under Asharyan-2 project in Mujib Year on Tuesday (July 26). This joint meeting of Upazila Task Force Committee was held with stakeholders in the meeting room of Baralekha Upazila Nirbahi Officer's office in Moulvibazar.

Joining the event virtually, the Environment Minister said that those who have no land or house will be rehabilitated. In this case, even if there is no special land in any upazila, they will be rehabilitated by acquiring land if necessary. If this project of the government is fully implemented, no more people will be homeless in the country. The minister directed the task force committee members to take measures to rehabilitate those who have no land or house at all.

Baralekha upazila executive officer Khandkar Mudachir bin Ali presided over the meeting. Upazila Parishad Chairman Swaib Ahmad, Baralekha Municipality Mayor Abul Imam Md. Kamran Chowdhury, Assistant Commissioner (Land) Jahangir Hossain and others were present there.

Under Asharyan-2 project in Mujib Year, 435 landless and homeless 'A' category families of Baralekha upazila have been enrolled . Out of these, 246 families have already been resettled. The process of rehabilitating the remaining 189 families is ongoing.
