Remove irregularities in Department of Agricultural Extension

Many of us may not know what kinds of irregularities take place in various government offices in the capital, Dhaka. Allegations of corruption sometimes appear in the media through which we learn a few things. But there are many crimes that go on day after day, which we never get to know about. Take the Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE), for instance. It is because of this department that the Farmgate area is known as Khamarbari. The DAE is responsible for the expansion of modern agriculture and crops across the country. The surprising fact is that, in this important government office, the dominance of various associations and organisations of officials and employees has been going on for years.
