The ACC is going to adopt a new action plan to intensify the ongoing anti-corruption drive and the local committees would play a vital role in this regard, he said at a view exchange meeting at Cox's Bazar Cultural Centre in the morning.

At the meeting that was held as part of his countrywide campaign against corruption, he suggested forming anti-corruption committees in cooperation with the deputy commissioners and with the participation of professionals.

Terming the present environment conducive to anti-corruption drive, the ACC chairman urged all to forge a social movement against corruption.

There might not be the opportunity to raise voice against corruption after two years, he added.

Local people can take a strong stand against corrupt people through non-violent means and raise mass awareness about it, he said.

Chaired by Deputy Commissioner Mohammed Aminul Islam, the meeting was also addressed by Police Super Banaj Kumar Majumdar, Begum Zahanara Islam, General Secretary of Rakhain Welfare Association Monghola Rakhain and Rezaul Karim, a student.

At the meeting, the local people expressed their keen interest to be involved in the anti-corruption drive.

Later, the ACC chairman also visited Bandarban, Rangamati and Khagrachhari.
