“Price double the budget,” published on May 29, 2013 Iftekhar Hassan Obviously it is the government officials who are helping these illegal forest product extractors and smugglers. Without the help from the officials of the forest department and land registry department, such illegal acts can not take place. Since government officials are involved in corruption, it does not have the power to enforce the forest law. A reader Environment is not a matter of game and the government officials should understand that. Mark Akamat Overhaul the whole forestry department and take wildlife out of it making it a separate department with footings equal to present forest and environment departments. Wildlife and forest conservation departments will not be money generating departments. Rather these two will save the biodiversity of the country. ************************************************ “Rajuk role in question” May 29, 2013 Mofi I wonder if there would be any real benefit of increasing manpower of an organisation, which is well known for irregularities and corruption! Abir Hasan RAJUK is one of the most corrupt government offices in Bangladesh. ACC should 'purify' the office for the safety of this country. Shafiqur Rahman Agreed. I would like to see the houses of the RAJUK officials- they must be very luxurious. Question is-where did they get the money to build their properties? Their 'actual' salaries are not their 'real' salaries. Now their excuse is that they don't have enough manpower. We don't just need enough manpower, we need 'qualified' manpower- without corruption of course.
