Disaster Management and Relief Minister Principal Asadul Habib Dulu has called for a joint initiative to eliminate social degradation such as drugs, gambling, casinos, and child marriage in Lalmonirhat's Hatibandha upazila. He made these remarks during an exchange meeting with volunteers under the banner of 'Alokito Lalmonirhat Amader Angikar'.
He stated that an initiative has been taken to build a social movement against these social issues involving about 15,000 volunteers. Mentioning that drug use is highest in border areas and about 5,000 crore taka is laundered annually from Bangladesh for drugs, he emphasized raising awareness across 108 wards of the upazila's 12 unions.
He further instructed that those involved should be made to understand first, and if they do not stop, they should be handed over to the law, while ensuring no innocent person is harassed. Vests were distributed among the volunteer members at the end of the event.
