“We have no Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) in last two months and Manikchhari UNO has been given the charge as acting official but he does attend the office,” Debu added.
Ratan Chakma, another villager of Dullatali said he came from 10-kilometer away for seeking suggestion in regards of his animals and orchards but he had not found any officer in Upazila Livestock office or Upazila agriculture office.

Rahman Farhad, one of the student hailed from Moiurkhil under Laxmichhari upazila said he had not found any officer on last Sunday morning to attest his documents.
