A powerful group in Pabna’s West Jamua village destroyed 60 houses in a government shelter project, claiming the land as their own. Residents allege they were forcibly evicted at gunpoint after the fall of the Awami League government. The group looted materials from the homes and placed a signboard citing a court case. Now, displaced families are living in dire conditions on nearby embankments. Local authorities have yet to act, despite repeated appeals from the victims for rehabilitation and justice.

A powerful local group has been accused of demolishing 60 houses in the shelter project at West Jamua Cluster Village in Bharara, Pabna Sadar Upazila, and grabbing the land. Not only were the houses destroyed, but everything, including doors, windows, and tin roofs, was looted.
Armed individuals demolished 60 homes worth over 15 crore BDT in Pabna’s government shelter project, forcing residents to flee for their lives, abandoning food and belongings. What was once a lively community now lies in ruins, with families left homeless under open skies. The evicted families, displaced during the Awami League government’s fall, demand rehabilitation and justice, but local officials claim no action has been taken despite reports.
