The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change has clarified that reports of an attack on Advisor Syeda Rizwana Hasan’s convoy in Sherpur are false. In a press release issued on Monday, May 26, the ministry confirmed that her visit to the Daodhara Garo Hills Tourism Center and the Madhutila Range was part of a scheduled program and proceeded without incident.
During her visit, she engaged with local communities, distributed compensation to victims of elephant attacks, and held discussions on forest conservation and human-wildlife conflict. The events were described as peaceful and cordial. The ministry acknowledged a minor verbal altercation between a few individuals and journalists, but stated it was unrelated to the advisor’s activities.
