The Upazila administration has conducted an operation against the illegal preparation for pond excavation on agricultural land in Digalkandi village, located in the Baneshwar Union of Puthia Upazila, Rajshahi. This immediate action was taken to protect agricultural land and safeguard public access roads in the interest of the community.
According to administrative sources, the operation was launched following a tip-off that a group was preparing to excavate a pond on agricultural land in Digalkandi village. Upon arrival, authorities confirmed that preliminary preparations for earth-excavation were underway. Sensing the administration's presence, those involved fled the scene, taking their tractors with them.
Subsequently, the administration engaged with the individual behind the excavation project. During the discussion, the individual acknowledged that the activity could damage agricultural land and public access roads. He assured the administration that he would not undertake such activities in the future and pledged to submit a formal written undertaking to the Chairman of the Baneshwar Union Parishad by tomorrow.
