The Department of Environment has sent a notice for cutting hills in the name of a person who died about seven and a half years ago in Sylhet’s Golapganj. In that notice, he was asked to attend the Sylhet Divisional Environment Directorate and participate in the hearing.
On January 9, such a notice was given in the name of Rafiqul Islam of Dharabahar village of Paschim Amura union of the upazila. He died on 25 August 2015. West Amura Union Parishad (UP) issued the death certificate of Rafiqul Islam on December 20 of the same year (Certificate No.-00032, Excise No.-005).
In the notice signed by Mohammad Emran Hossain, Director of Sylhet Divisional Environment Department, apart from Rafiqul Islam, 6 other people of the upazila were asked to attend the hearing on January 12 at 10 am. The name of Rafiqul Islam’s nephew Saiful Islam is also among the six.
Meanwhile, Rafiqul Islam’s son Fakhrul Islam filed a written complaint with the Director of Sylhet Divisional Environment Department on January 15 after receiving that notice. He mentioned that the allegations mentioned in the notice are completely baseless. Rafiqul Islam passed away on 25 August 2015. This is done intentionally to harass their family members.
