Prime Minister Tarique Rahman has directed officials to take swift action to assist farmers affected by heavy rainfall in the haor region. He emphasized the need for a transparent and accurate list of affected farmers to ensure proper distribution of financial aid. The directive was issued during a meeting held on Thursday afternoon at the Prime Minister’s Office in the Cabinet Division of the Bangladesh Secretariat.
The meeting was convened to review the progress of financial assistance programs for farmers impacted by flooding in the haor areas. Rahman instructed that only genuinely affected farmers be identified and included in the list, which will serve as the basis for providing financial support over the next three months. The meeting also discussed advancing the paddy planting and harvesting seasons to reduce future losses from heavy rainfall.
Ministers and lawmakers from haor constituencies attended the meeting, including Disaster Management and Relief Minister Asadul Habib Dulu and Agriculture, Fisheries and Livestock Minister Aminur Rashid Yasin. The Prime Minister had earlier informed the National Parliament on April 29 about the government’s plan to support affected farmers for three months.
