Bewa
Ms. Khuki Bewa, an old widow woman lives
in Gaibandha. She did not get her old age
pension. Md. Badruddoja Manik, a local
human rights activist in Gaibandha found
that her name is incorporated at the top of
the list of old age pension beneficiaries. But
she was listed as belated old woman in spite
of being alive and another person was
getting old age pension instead of her.
Mr. Manik could not tolerate the injustice
and came to NHRC to lodge complaint on
behalf of Ms. Khuki Bewa. NHRC paid
attention to the complaint immediately and
ordered the Upazila Nirbahi Officer to
investigate the case and submit report to
NHRC accordingly. The Upazila Nirbahi
Officer found that the allegation was true
and he immediately took action to ensure
that Ms. Khuki Bewa gets the old age
pension. As a result, at present Ms. Khuki
Bewa gets her pension and she as well as
Mr. Manik have expressed their gratitude to
NHRC.
