The state minister said these things to journalists after a coordination meeting on the overall development and law and order situation of the district at the conference room of the Rangamati District Administration at noon on Saturday (17 October).
Mir Helal said, where there is a problem, there is also a path to solution. There is an opportunity to implement Prime Minister Tarek Rahman's ‘Rainbow Nation’ philosophy in the three districts of the Chittagong Hill Tracts. To avoid rumours and disorder, he called upon all to immediately inform the local administration, law enforcement agencies, the Hill District Council, or local BNP leaders if any suspicious information or inconsistency is seen.
Noting that government allocations have been increased for various religious festivals, including the autumnal Durga Puja, the state minister said allocations have also been increased for observing various festivals, including Kathin Chibor Dan and Prabarana Purnima.
Former Hill Minister and Rangamati MP Dipen Dewan, District Council Chairman Dipan Talukdar Dipu and others concerned were present at the meeting chaired by Deputy Commissioner Nazma Ashrafi.
Later, at the conference room of the Rangamati Hill District Council, the state minister handed over cheques worth Tk 25 lakh from the Ministry of Chittagong Hill Tracts Affairs to representatives of 47 puja mandaps in the district. He also visited various puja mandaps in the district.
