ACC moves to dismantle destabilising movement inside REB

The Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) is going to take legal action against officials of the Rural Electrification Board who were behind a threat to abstain from work and even shutdown electricity in their areas to realise their demands.

ACC documents seen by UNB show that it asked five officials of various Palli Bidyut Samity (PBS) units under the Rural Electrification Board (REB) to face interrogation.

The five officials are - Humayun Kabir, DGM of Barisal PBS-1; Asaduzzaman Bhuiya, Deputy General Manager (DGM) of Brahmanbaria PBS; Samiul Kabir and Bipasha Islam, Deputy General Manager (technical) of Manikganj unit, Rajon Kumar Das, Assistant General Manager (AGM) of Munshiganj PBS.

ACC on Thursday formed a three-member team headed by assistant director Shahidur Rahman for the purpose. The other two members are assistant director Papon Kumar Saha and deputy assistant director Mohammed Shahjalal.
