Rangpur-4 Member of Parliament Akhtar Hossain has publicly shared the allocation details of dates gifted by the King of Saudi Arabia. According to information posted on his media cell’s Facebook page at 3:40 a.m. on Wednesday, a total of 30 cartons of dates were allocated for Kaunia and Pirgacha upazilas—18 for Pirgacha and 12 for Kaunia—with each carton containing eight kilograms of dates.

Abdullah Al Mamun, the chief coordinator of the National Citizen Party (NCP) in Pirgacha, told Amader Desh that MP Akhtar Hossain instructed the upazila administration to ensure the dates reach orphanages in every union. The distribution process is currently underway under administrative supervision, and a full list of recipient madrasas and orphanages will be made public after completion.

The disclosure follows a similar transparency initiative by Comilla-4 MP Hasnat Abdullah, who earlier presented a report on his first 21 days in office. His move drew widespread praise on social media, prompting citizens to demand comparable openness from their own representatives.
