Personal Correspondent, Ishwarganj Office:
A press conference was held in Ishwarganj of Mymensingh against the complaint filed against the Uchakhila UP chairman by women UP members at the police station. The press conference was held at Uchakhila Union Parishad office on Saturday. UP Chairman Anwarul Hasan Khan Salim read the written statement at the press conference.
In a written statement at the press conference, Roksana Khatun, a reserved member of Ward No. 3, complained to me that the woman member had abused Ward No. 8 Rafiqul Islam on a mobile phone. On Thursday evening, in a meeting in the Union Parishad, when I asked Roksana about this matter, Roksana got excited and abused me in an inaudible language and left the office council. After some time he brought a sharp ram da and tried to kill me. At that time the local people kept him away. After that, he took refuge in conspiracy and filed a complaint with the police station with false baseless information that he assaulted and molested the house where he was sitting by holding a fistful of her hair.
He also said that this female member is an identified drug dealer. He always creates terror in the area. He strongly condemned the allegations leveled against him.
Roksana Khatun, a reserved woman member, said that the chairman called and asked to sign various project works. Later, when I refused, the chairman grabbed my hair and beat me with a shoe. Later I went to the police station and informed the officer in charge and filed a written complaint.
UP members Saiful Islam, Matiur Rahman, Rafiqul Islam, Shahidul Islam, Ashraful Islam, Taslima Begum and Jasmine Ara were present in the press conference....

Ishwarganj Representative:
PDB's line helper Saiful Islam stole lakhs of taka by pretending to be a contractor in Ishwarganj of Mymensingh.
After investigation, it is known that a few days ago, the line helper was transferred from Ishwarganj to Tangail due to irregularities. Even though he was transferred, his irregularities and corruption did not stop. Coming to Ishwarganj from his work place in Tangail, he is claiming millions of taka as a contractor. Saiful Islam is getting away with such irregularities with the help of the resident engineer.
It is known that SN Builders, an authorized contractor of BUBO, is working on the installation of 20 pole 11 KV ST line from Sridharpur in Ramgopalpur Union of Gouripur under the jurisdiction of Ishwarganj PDB office to Nawagaon. But Saiful, posing as a contractor to the locals, made a contract of two hundred and fifty thousand rupees and grabbed one hundred thousand taka out of earnest money. Although the work was done by SN Builders, Saiful Islam is harassing the locals by installing the pole as per his wish without design. In this regard, two victims of harassment have also filed a written complaint with the resident engineer.
On the surface it is known that the workers who are working on installing the poles do not have the contractor's phone number but Saiful's phone number is correct. When the news of the journalists' presence reached Saiful, Saiful called his confidant Habibur Rahman and asked why the journalists had come.
When asked about this, line helper Saiful Islam said, I am sick and on vacation. I don't know anything about the distance I went to that area.
While Saiful Islam denied it, Ishwarganj Upazila Resident Engineer Imtiaz Mamun admitted that he was the one who sent Saiful to that area. When asked about the information regarding the installation of ST line, he said "I do not have any information in this regard, contact the executive engineer".
Executive Engineer Mofazzal Hossain said, the...

As dengue fever is alarmingly spreading across the country, it is very important to take measures including food habits which will effectively minimise the risk of the disease.
One of the risk factors in case of dengue is that it may reduce the platelet level of the patient’s body to such a significant extent that it could be fatal. Our body requires sufficient vitamins, minerals and protein for bone marrow health which produces platelets.
Here are few food items that are full of nutrients and will help to raise the platelet count of a dengue patient and help him recover at the earliest.
VegetablesVegetables such as spinach, pumpkin, paprika, carrot, watercress, celery, broccoli and beet root will trigger your platelet levels and help you purify your body.
Do not hesitate to eat these foods raw after cleaning properly.
Spinach is a food that promotes health in various aspects. They stand out for their significant contribution of protein and Vitamin K, which participates in the metabolism of coagulation factors and also helps to reduce the risk of excessive bleeding.
Pumpkin, including seeds, has amino acids and vitamins essential for platelet formation. Its regular consumption improves the absorption of proteins and vitamin A, which are nutrients that participate in the production of these small cells. Additionally, since it contains powerful anti-oxidants, pumpkin is ideal for inhibiting the negative effects of toxins and free radicals.
Beet root is full of anti-oxidants that help prevent platelet reduction due to the effects of free radicals. Its contribution of vitamins A, C and K, in addition to minerals, helps prevent the deterioration of blood vessels and the development of circulatory problems. Drinking beet root juice regularly also strengthens the body’s immunity.
FruitsBoth Vitamin C and Vitamin K are essential to increase the platelet count. Hence, we should not only consume citrus fruits such as...
