Local residents have issued a strict warning to withdraw newly appointed administrator Md. Tarikul Islam of Datbhanga Union Parishad in Kurigram's Rowmari upazila within the next 72 hours. They have also announced programs to surround the union parishad and lock the building. This warning was given during a human chain organized at the Datbhanga bazar of the upazila around 11 am on Thursday (November 12).
Sources indicate that there are serious allegations against Tarikul Islam of stealing government goods with UNICEF logos from the Rowmari Department of Public Health Engineering warehouse in April this year. Following the death of Datbhanga Union Parishad Chairman SM Rezaul Karim on September 24, the chairman post became vacant. Afterward, the upazila administration sent the controversial official's name as a single proposal, and he joined as administrator on November 11. After Tarikul Islam took charge as administrator, locals expressed outrage and strongly demanded his removal and the appointment of an honest and neutral person as administrator.
