UZLAC Bi-Monthly Meeting: Mr. Md. Nasir Uddin Ahmed (Jinu) Chairman of Nawabganj Upazila Parishad and President of Upazila Legal Aid Committee said that many people applied to me for arbitration and I will try to resolve the issue by arbitrating many of them. If I can't solve it, I send them to the District Legal Aid Office Dhaka. I couldn't solve a client's problem. I sent him to the District Legal Aid Office on the date 10/11/2021. Later I heard that the District Legal Aid Office had heard his words and filed his case there and finalized the date of ADR to resolve his problem. I was very happy to hear this and you don't have any PPJ project office in the upazila, it is very difficult for the client to do, so you can use this office of mine to consult with the client. You are allowed to use my office. Another thing I will tell you is that after 15 days you will go to the police station. Many poor people come to the police station to file a case but they cannot file a case because they do not have money. Make sure that you get all these poor cases or legal advice or legal help from the poor people through the District Legal Aid Office and make sure that they can get services through the District Legal Aid Office.

UPLAC Bi-monthly meeting: Mr. Md. Abed Hossain, chairman of the Agla Union Parishad Nawabganj and president of the Union Legal Aid Committee said that we always encourage the clients who come to the Union Parishad to get legal services, we go to the Dhaka District Legal Aid Office in their identity, many times they go and many times they do not go. That's why I asked the clients to come to this meeting because we will listen to them in this meeting as we will also take information from you who are working on the PPJ project in this meeting and we will decide how we will send them to the District Legal Aid office Dhaka. For FY 2021- 22, I have allocated tk. 10,000 to Union Parishad. We will provide services through this money for those clients who cannot go to District Legal Aid Office Dhaka due to lack of money.

Courtyard Meeting: House Wife Saleha Begum Kalakopa Union Nawabganj said that My husband distributes wealth among my children. My five children divide the property between four sons and daughters, but the younger daughter is not given any property by her father. My little girl has married a boy out of love so her father has no property for her and that girl has been abandoned by her father. How can I get legal help through this courtyard meeting? "If you come to the District Legal Aid Office with this matter, I will go with you and we will take legal action through the District Legal Aid Office," said Sinthia, Field Officer, PPJ Project Dhaka.

Miking on Legal Aid: Majeda Begum of Ishanpur village in Suapur Union under Dhamrai Upazila, while miking, approached her and said that her daughter-in-law often physically and mentally abused her daughter and demanded dowry money. In that case, I would like to seek services through the District Legal Aid Office. Then I give her the poster and sticker of the District Legal Aid Office and give her my phone number that you will contact me when you become the District Legal Aid Office and I will try to get you the legal help of the District Legal Aid Office.
