Bi-monthly meeting: Date: 26.12.21 Mr. Amir Hossain UP Member Ruhitpur Union under Keraniganj said that there is a man in our union who illegally sends people out of the country, especially those who are poor and helpless and lured abroad for jobs. We, the chairman-members, sat down with him a few times to talk to him and not to send people abroad illegally, but we could not stop him from sending outsiders. So this is how we get the solution through the District Legal Aid Office.

Video Projection: Date: 30.12.2021 Mr, Mohammad Tareq Rahman Assistant Teacher Ghoshail High School Joy Krishnapur Union Nawabganj Upazila Said that by watching the video we saw a many documentation of legal aid and understood a few things like 1.False documents 2. Mental abuse of wife by husband 3. Illegally occupy the place 4. Illegally sends people out of the country etc. These things are happening all around our society that we see; today we have seen how the District Legal Aid Office works through video documentation. We like it a lot. From now on, if there is any incident around us, we ask the service recipients to contact the helpline number of the District Legal Aid Office directly.

School Debate: Date: 30.12.2021 Mr. Md. Jahangir Hossain Mia Head teacher Ghoshail High School Joy Krishnapur Union Nawabganj Upazila said that these issues of Legal Aid were beautifully presented by our school children through a debate competition which I was overwhelmed to see. Our school is located in a remote area far away from Nawabganj Upazila and the river Padma next to the school which is causing a lot of damage to the people. However, we are educating our children as much as possible. People on the banks of the river Padma are not aware of the legal aid issue. They do not know that the government is providing free legal aid to the poor people. Through today's Debate Competition, the school children learned about the legal aid issue in the Competition, and I believe that they will make their families and the people around them and some of the other children and teachers in our school aware of this Legal Aid issue.
