BSS, Rajshahi, :
Speakers at a discussion have urged the branch level bankers to put in their best efforts to resist money laundering and other malpractices in banks for the sake of uprooting various social crimes associated with those.
Terming the border-belt districts like Rajshahi and Chapainawabganj as crime-prone zone, they said bankers must remain sincere and alert so that money laundering and financing of terrorism could be reduced to a greater extent.
They were addressing the closing and certificate-giving ceremony of a three-day training course titled “Prevention of Money Laundering and Malpractices in Banks” for the branch level bankers of Rajshahi Krishi Unnayan Bank (RAKUB) at its training institute in Rajshahi city Tuesday.

Faculty Member Mobinur Rashid Sarker, Ranjit Kumar Sen and Ahsan Ullah conducted the course.
As the largest development partner in the agricultural sector of the northwest Bangladesh, RAKUB plays a vital role to earn economic emancipation and free the nation from poverty and hunger through boosting credit-flow to the potential agricultural fields, the speakers mentioned.
