Staff Reporter:
State Minister for Land Barrister Mir Mohammad Helal Uddin yesterday paid surprise visits to the Aminbazar and Ashulia Revenue Circle offices in Savar and uncovered a number of irregularities in ser-vice delivery, staff attendance and administrative management.
The state minister arrived at the offices in a private vehicle without any official flag, police protocol or government security escort.
During the inspection, he reviewed service activities, attendance records and overall administrative oper-ations at the two revenue circles.
At the Aminbazar Assistant Commissioner (Land) Office, the state minister found that Assistant Com-missioner (Land) Shahadat Hossain Khan was absent from the office at the scheduled reporting time and arrived about 15 to 20 minutes after his visit began.
The inspection also revealed that only two out of eight officials and a mutation assistant were present at their workstations on time.
Several service seekers waiting outside the office told the state minister that they had repeatedly visited the land office over a prolonged period without receiving the required services. He expressed dissatisfac-tion over delays in service delivery after speaking with them.
Helal Uddin later reviewed CCTV footage to verify officials’ attendance and questioned the inadequate infrastructure and management of the information centre-cum-help desk.
