A new rule requiring visitors to remove their shoes before entering the Madhabpur Upazila Social Services Office in Habiganj has been introduced. This rule has been in effect for about a week, sparking discussion and criticism among service recipients and locals.
Union social worker Ranjit Biswas stated that the measure was taken to maintain discipline and that the upazila executive officer is aware of it. However, service recipient Nazma বেগম expressed dissatisfaction, stating she had to enter the office barefoot despite having foot problems. Upazila BNP joint organizing secretary Mirza Ikram commented that the rule of entering a government office barefoot is absurd.
Upazila social services officer Rubel Mondal stated that boxes will be arranged for keeping shoes and the new system was introduced to maintain discipline in the office, though entering barefoot is not strictly mandatory. Assistant Director of the Habiganj District Social Services Office, Md. Jalal Uddin, stated that necessary steps will be taken after looking into the matter.
