A canal re-excavation project in Saltha upazila of Faridpur has drawn public praise after the local administration returned unspent government funds. The project, part of a national initiative to re-excavate canals, was completed under the supervision of Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) Dabir Uddin. After finishing the work, the administration returned 7.33 million taka to the government treasury.

According to the Upazila Project Implementation Office, the government allocated 16.74 million taka for re-excavating three canals totaling 4.535 kilometers in Atghar, Ramkantpur, and Sonapur unions. The project was inaugurated by Faridpur-2 Member of Parliament and State Minister for Foreign Affairs Shama Obaid Islam, and later inspected by the district commissioner, who expressed satisfaction. The work took about three months, during which all wages and expenses were paid properly.

Project committee members credited the UNO’s regular monitoring and guidance for ensuring quality and transparency. Dabir Uddin stated that transparency, accountability, and integrity are central to his work and that proper use of public funds is a key principle of good governance.
