Destroying forests to make bricks!

Your correspondent's report along with the photograph, published in your pages on 9 December, graphically confirms the saying that "Power corrupts and absolute powers corrupts absolutely"! The report identifies an AL leader of Chakoria upazila in Cox's Bazar and his partner, who have set up a brickfield in prohibited reserve forest area of Uchitar Beel. It seems that the forest officials and the local district administration are unable, or scared, to take any punitive action against them, since they belong to the party in power, and possibly connected with local goons! This is an outrageous example of misuse of power by the Awami League!
The Hon. Prime Minister's attention must be drawn to this, even if the district authorities (may be for their safety) have not officially brought this to the notice of higher authorities! A brickfield cannot just disappear overnight. The Hon. PM should send a team of two persons, one a strong central AL leader and another a senior government official to investigate the matter at the earliest, and if necessary take exemplary punitive action against these party men who are spoiling the name of the party! This will add to the PM's and the party's image.
It will also be appreciated if your newspaper follows up this matter and reports on it, so that we can be aware of the steps taken by the administration, to stop such illegal activities by unscrupulous AL men.
