Local residents of Ward No. 5 in Katiadi Municipality, Kishoreganj, organized a human chain and protest program on Saturday afternoon at Kadamtala area beside the Kishoreganj–Bhairab regional road. The event was held under the banner of the local Anti-Drug Committee and community members to demand action against the growing spread of drugs and gambling in the area.
Speakers at the protest, including committee leaders and local dignitaries, alleged that the rise of drugs and gambling has worsened law and order, leading to increased theft, robbery, and insecurity among residents. They said that despite changes in government and local representatives, criminal activities have not decreased. The speakers added that a community-based Anti-Drug Committee has been formed to combat the issue, and its members regularly detain drug users and dealers for handover to authorities.
Participants further claimed that those involved in drugs and gambling have no political identity but are being protected by an influential group. They urged the administration to take strict and effective measures to restore safety in the area.
