Biplob Kumar Das, Staff Reporter. The current executive committee of the 'Faridpur Diabetic Association' has been temporarily dismissed due to allegations of unconstitutional activities and irregularities. At the same time, a new five-member caretaker (advisory) committee has been formed with Dr. Mostafizur Rahman Shamim as the convener to manage the organisation. This information has been confirmed through a press release from the Faridpur District Social Services Office. The other four members of the committee are— Dr. Ali Akbar Haldar, Engineer Md. Shahidul Hasan, Professor Md. Abdur Tawab, and Farian Yusuf. According to sources from the District Social Services Office, an investigation was initiated against the organisation due to allegations of violations of the Voluntary Social Welfare Agencies (Registration and Control) Ordinance, 1961, and unconstitutional activities. Following the directives of the Department of Social Services, Md. Abu Taher, the Assistant Director of the District Social Services Office, was appointed as the investigating officer. If the allegations are found to be true during the investigation, two separate reports were sent from the District Social Services Office to the Director General of the Department of Social Services on 9 and 19 August of this year. Based on the review of the reports, the Department of Social Services issued an office order on 29 August. In the order, the previous executive committee was temporarily dismissed under section 9 (1) of the 'Voluntary Social Welfare Agencies (Registration and Control) Ordinance, 1961'. Under section 9 (2) of the same ordinance, approval was given for this new five-member advisory committee to manage the association. This newly formed committee is expected to quickly take over the administrative and service activities of the Diabetic Association and restore the organisation's discipline.
