The government has formed a seven-member investigation committee, headed by the Director General of the Local Government Division, to examine corruption and irregularities within the division and its affiliated offices and agencies from 2009 to 2026. The committee has been instructed to investigate irregularities during both the Awami League and interim governments and to submit its report within 60 working days.

State Minister for Local Government Mir Shah Alam highlighted irregularities in development projects in Pirojpur, alleging that after tenders were issued, Tk 6,000 crore was withdrawn without any work being done. As a result, all development projects in Pirojpur have been halted for the past two years. He said an on-site inspection would soon be conducted to restart the suspended projects.

The state minister further stated that similar irregularities occurred in road and bridge construction projects in several other districts. He also alleged that during the interim government, former adviser Asif Mahmud Sajib Bhuiyan approved a project file without the secretary’s signature.
