ANOTHER 13.5 ACRES OF GOAINGHAT TO INDIA
Everything is set for conceding another 13.5 acres of cultivable land to India at Kulum Chhara in Goainghat upazila tomorrow ( Monday). Bangladesh survey officials in the Indo- Bangla Joint Border Demarcation team said it was agreed to set bamboo pillars inside Bangladesh at Kulum Chhara border conceding 13.50 acres. Confirming the decision ADC (Revenue) Ahmed Shamim Al Rajee told UNB that demarcation and setting of bamoo pillars at Kulum Chhara border are scheduled for tomorrow. Law enforcing agencies including police, BGB and plain clothed security officials are being deployed in the area so that the joint border demarcation team can carry out its task without any disturbance, officials said. Kulum Chhara area is in addition to 261 acres, including Padua, in Goainghat border already conceded to India during the last two weeks. Bamboo pillars have been set on the new line of border despite angry demonstrations by villagers. Lamenting at the loss of their crop lands, farmers in these areas said Indians are not allowing them to go to their land, which they cultivated for ages. BSF threatens to shoot them if they venture to cultivate the newly demarcated lands. Dildar Hossain, former MP of the area said the villagers under the banner of Amra Simantabashi (We the residents of the border) will launch vigorous movement after the Ramadan to thwart the government move to handover the lands to India which the farmers used to cultivate for ages. He questioned the necessity of fresh demarcation of border and viewed that the present subservient government has taken the step to handover certain areas of Bangladesh territory to India.
