Residents of Kailashganj Union in Dacope upazila, Khulna, organized a broom procession on Tuesday morning demanding the removal of acting union parishad chairman and Awami League vice-president Prabir Mondal. The demonstrators accused him of irregularities, corruption, and misuse of funds, gathering in front of the union council with placards after marching from different wards.

According to protester Uttam Kumar Mondal, after the previous chairman went into hiding in August, an assistant commissioner (land) was appointed as administrator. Six months later, Prabir Mondal was made acting chairman, but the decision was briefly revoked following public protests before he was reappointed on March 4, 2026. Locals alleged that he engaged in financial misconduct and used his associates to intimidate residents. They submitted a petition to the deputy commissioner on March 9 seeking his removal but received no response.

Prabir Mondal denied all allegations, claiming they were baseless. Local MP Amir Ejaz Khan said he was aware of the matter and would ensure proper investigation, urging people not to resort to mob action.
