Land Minister Md Mizanur Rahman Minu on Sunday urged field-level officials across the country to align their work with public expectations while delivering land-related services.

The minister made the call while inaugurating an advanced land management course at the Land Administration Training Centre in the city.

The minister said a large number of people visit land offices with various problems and the officials concerned must come forward promptly to ensure legal solutions to those issues.

“There are many laws related to land management which field officials must master. There is no alternative to proper training in this regard,” he said.

Extending greetings to the participants of the training course, Minu said all concerned must remain focused on implementing the directives of the present democratic government to take Bangladesh forward in the coming days.

“Our government has repeatedly emphasised ensuring transparent and efficient land services for the people. We must avoid any actions that could tarnish the reputation of field officials nationwide due to the wrongdoing of a few,” he added.

He also warned that any misconduct by field-level officials intentional or otherwise ultimately reflects on the government, as they operate under its authority.

“Therefore, everyone must remain cautious in this regard,” the minister added.
