Innovative tactics to occupy govt. land in Cumilla

Accusations have been made against the wife, children, and five heirs of retired police officer Delwar Hossain from Cumilla for taking a government land lease of 0.6163 acres under the condition of constructing a cinema hall and hotel, but instead building a ten-story commercial building. Additionally, they have allegedly illegally occupied an extra 0.1156 acres of land outside the lease, turning it into personal property. The current owner is Delwar Zahid, the son of the late Delwar Hossain, who passed away seven years ago. Such allegations have been made by the city dwellers against Delwar Zahid.

Cumilla Trauma Center itself 'traumatized'

Cumilla Trauma Center itself is in trauma, as the locals describe it. Despite being inaugurated twice under the governments of both the Awami League and BNP, it has remained non-functional for nearly two decades. Residents argue that political rivalry has led to the waste of a crucial public service institution, which was built with taxpayer money. The trauma center, strategically located along the Dhaka-Chattogram Highway in Daudkandi, Cumilla, was established in 2006 with the noble goal of providing emergency medical care to road accident victims. However, no medical services have ever been fully operational there. Currently, only a nominal outpatient department exists, offering minimal treatment for general ailments.
