The acting officer-in-charge of Shariatpur Sadar Upazila food warehouse, Shahnewaz Alam, has been transferred to Munshiganj following allegations of irregularities involving 400 sacks of government rice. The transfer order was issued on April 15, 2026, by the regional food controller’s office, signed by Regional Food Controller Suraiya Khatun. The incident began on April 13 when locals intercepted a truck carrying the rice from Angaria warehouse to Kotapara, suspecting it was being diverted for black market sale. The truck was stopped multiple times by residents before the rice was eventually moved to the district food warehouse at midnight.
Following widespread discussion and criticism in the district, the administration formed a three-member investigation committee led by local food control officials. Acting District Food Controller Humayun Kabir stated that the transfer was made for administrative reasons and that further action would depend on the committee’s report. The mysterious disappearance of the truck driver and helper after the incident has raised additional questions among locals.
Residents have demanded a full investigation and strict action against those responsible to prevent future irregularities in government food grain transport.
