DoE summons Premier Cement MD

Posted by bangladesh

The environment department has summoned the managing director of Premier Cement for it's illegal possession of a part of Shitalakkha river-bank in Narayanganj and Munshiganj districts.

Premier Cement managing director Amirul Haque has been ordered to appear before the DoE headquarters in Dhaka on Apr 23 to explain why the company should not be fined for harming the environment and why a case should not be filed against it.

He was also directed to explain why the illegally grabbed land alongside the river should not be rescued and the goods of the company there should not be seized.

A director of the environment department Mohammad Munir Chowdhury said in a statement on Saturday that the company had grabbed lands ignoring the pillars set up by Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority (BIWTA).

The statement said the company's illegal possession had reduced the depth of the Shitalakkhya river and was causing harm to fish and other aquatic life.

No progress in Ilias' missing case: police

Posted by bangladesh

Police told a Dhaka court on Sunday that they were yet to make any headway into BNP leader M Ilias Ali's 'missing' case.

The law-enforcing agency admitted its failure in a report to the court of Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Muniruzzaman, four days after the BNP organising secretary went missing.

Ali's wife Tahsina Rushdir Luna had filed a general diary with the Banani police on Wednesday after his car was found abandoned in Mahakhali. Following the complaint, the magistrate ordered police to inform the court of the probe progress every 48 hours.

Ali's wife had also sought the High Court's intervention to find her missing husband.

On Saturday, Rapid Action Battalion conducted raids on four houses in Pubail, Gazipur.

RAB officials said they conducted the searches based on a letter given to them by Ilias Ali's wife. They said she was with them during the operations.

Tahsina, however, rejected the RAB claims while speaking to reporters.

The BNP has held the government responsible for the disappearance. Prime minister Sheikh Hasina described the missing incident a 'new drama staged by BNP'.

The BNP spokesperson, Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, had threatened to enforce non-stop general strike if Ali was not found.

The main opposition's daylong countrywide strike for Sunday is going on amid reports of sporadic clashes with police.

In Sylhet, police have detained more than 50 BNP activists following violent clashes that left more than 20 people injured.

Meanwhile, several homemade bombs had reportedly exploded in the capital.

Ilias Ali is also BNP's Sylhet unit chief and a former lawmaker

Shutdown stretched to Monday

Posted by bangladesh

The BNP will enforce for a second straight day a daylong countrywide shutdown on Monday to protest the disappearance of the party's organising secretary M Ilias Ali.

The main opposition party's acting secretary-general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir made the announcement at a media call at the Naya Paltan headquarters minutes before Sunday's lockdown was to end.

Fakhrul, who has been threatening the government with a non-stop general strike, said, "I'm telling the government again, return Ilias Ali and his car driver. Otherwise, the protest will be tougher."

"Monday's hartal will also be a 6am-to-6pm one like Sunday," he added.

Ilias Ali, also the chief of Sylhet district chapter, went missing since in the early hours on Wednesday. Police recovered his car, abandoned with doors open, from a street in Mohakhali.

Sunday's shutdown saw law-enforcers clamping down on pickets as sporadic clashes took place around the country. BNP leaders were cordoned off at the Naya Paltan headquarters all day long.

Sylhet, the home of Ilias Ali, had the biggest share of violence between police and opposition pickets leading to 20 people being injured and more than 50 detained.

The main opposition has been alleging the government has 'abducted' Ilias while the government refuted the allegation claiming it is trying it's best to find Ilias, a former MP.

BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia alleged that Rapid Action Battalion 'abducted' Ilias. Prime minister Sheikh Hasina, however, said that Ilias has gone into 'hiding' and BNP is staging a 'drama' over it.

Fakhrul at the press briefing on Sunday said, "Remarks of the prime minister and the government officials have led us to believe that a government agency has abducted Ilias and now they are staging dramas over the issue of returning him."

Meanwhile, RAB on Saturday night raided several suspected houses at Gazipur's Pubail to find Ilias but had nothing to show for.

Apart from Sylhet, situation was normal elsewhere during Sunday's shutdown. Train, launch and plane operations were normal. Long-route buses were at a halt while rickshaws dominated the streets as usual.

Several local-made hand bombs exploded in the capital since the morning, most of them in front of the BNP headquarters.
