50-bed health complex in Nabiganj Bangladesh | Bold Gazette

At the 50-bed upazila health complex in Nabiganj, there have been allegations of widespread irregularities and corruption in the supply of food to patients at the will of the contractor.

Poor quality food supply, less fish, meat and oil than required are reported. It has also been alleged that food is being given as per the contractor’s wishes instead of the amount of food that is supposed to be provided to the admitted patients.

According to health complex sources, bread 244 grams, rice 400 grams, oil 40 grams, meat (khasi) 254 grams, chicken (desi) 282 grams, fish (rui, katal, mrigel) 282 grams, fish (grasscarp) per capita per patient. , Silver Carp, American Rye) 338gm, Pangus 423gm, Vegetables 350gm, Onion 50gm, Garlic 20gm, Cumin 5gm, Ginger 5gm, Bay leaf 5gm, Cardamom 10gm, Cinnamon 10gm and Clove 5gm. There are rules to do.

On investigation, it is known that the patients are supposed to be supplied with meat three days a week and fish four days, but meat is supplied once in 10 days. Also broiler chicken. On the rest of the day, pangas and tilapia fish are replaced with rooi, katal and mrigel fish. Although there is a rule to give the fish to patients without the head and tail, it is not being followed. The amount of bread served at breakfast is less. Instead of thin rice, patients are fed coarse and inferior rice. Patients generally do not want to eat such low-quality food.

In the presence of the Resident Medical Officer (RMO) and Nursing Supervisor, preparation for cooking the supplied material is said but not done. The concerned contractor supplies the goods as per his wish. Meanwhile, the patients are given pangas and tilapia instead of broiler meat and roe fish instead of khasi meat, but the contractor is raising the bill of khasi and roe fish as per the government rules. It has been seen on the ground that although the food list of the patients admitted to the hospital includes roe fish, the patients have been given pangas and tilapia fish and eggs.

Laila Haque (55) of Kandi village in Upazila Mandar, who was admitted a week ago, said that she did not give us any meat even on one day of the seven days, she gave us pangas and tilapia fish and eggs with two meals of thick rice and rice every day. You can’t eat the same thing so many times.

Sabina Yasmin (25) of village Timirpur in front of Sadar Union, Nahida Begum (22) of Gujakhair village of the same union said that since 4-5 days, the condition of food is very bad.

Hospital cook Runa Akhtar said that there is no list of patients’ food here. We cook and deliver whatever the contractors give. Runa Akhtar, the cook of the hospital who is in charge of food, said that even after repeatedly asking the contractor to give food to the patients as per the rules, he is still providing food as desired without any concern.

Officer (RMO) Dr. Champak Kishore Saha said, Dr. Abdul Samad Sir’s statement is my statement.

When Abdul Aziz, the contractor who supplies food to the hospital, was contacted on his mobile phone, he hung up the phone after introducing himself as a journalist but did not receive the call after repeated attempts.

In this regard, Nabiganj Upazila Health and Family Planning Officer Dr. Abdul Samad told that the hospital is providing food to the patients according to the food list. If there is any irregularity in food supply, necessary action will be taken after investigation.

This special model test has been organized due to the closure of students’ classes during the anti-discrimination student movement. Students participated in this test with enthusiasm.

The students said that after hearing about this model test, we started to feel excited. We have never given a board exam before, we do not understand the environment. We have understood the quality of board questions.

This test has removed our fear.

A special model test was held for 2025 SSC and Dakhil examinees.

Students from 11 educational institutions participated in the test at this center.

For the first time, a special model test examination has been held at two centers of Hatibandha Upazila, Barakhata High School and Shah Garibullah Secondary Girls High School, with the participation of more than 300 students.

Today, Monday, March 24 and Thursday, March 27, a model test examination was held on 8 subjects over two days.

A multiple-choice examination of 30 marks was held in each subject. And this special model test examination was held on the model of a public examination.

UNO said, we want to build it as a model upazila for education, for that purpose, the students’ speech at the farewell ceremony of each school was that after the July 24 uprising movement this year, we had a shortage of class examinations. To fill that shortage, and to prepare fully for the SSC examination, we have organized this model test examination.

We will organize it better from next year. We have planned to conduct a month-long examination for each subject. So that students of Hatibandha Upazila can get good results in the SSC examination in the future and go to good institutions.

As you know, education is an important investment in the world. If you invest 1 taka in the field of education, you get 4 taka in return. We want to spend labor, talent, and money in the field of education. We have organized the model test exam in the same environment as the SSC examination in the future.

Police and magistrates have been appointed for this exam.

We will select and reward the best 20 people in this model test. In addition, arrangements will be made to give a reception to those who will get good results in the SSC examination this time by the Upazila administration.

If this is implemented, we will see the awakening of students in Hatibandha in the next few years.

Students for Sovereignty demands arrest of ‘indigenous’ people seeking recognition

Published

Staff Correspondent :

An organization called the Angry Sovereign Students and People has made three demands, including arresting and bringing to justice those who are seeking recognition as ‘tribals’ and working and propagating this demand, by referring to the word ‘tribals’ as ‘anti-constitutional’ and ‘anti-national’.

These demands were made at a protest rally organized in front of the National Press Club on Thursday (January 23) under the banner of the Angry Sovereign Students and People to protest the ‘sudden attack by separatist tribes and red terrorists on the Students for Sovereignty program’.
At the protest rally, Muhammad Shamsuddin, a student of Shaheed Suhrawardy College and coordinator of the student movement against discrimination, said, “Those who are claiming to be tribals have basically come to this country from different countries. We have allowed them to stay. They are tribals, they are not tribals. There have never been tribals in this country and there will never be any in the future. If they want to make this demand, it will be dialed on a toll-free number.”
Other speakers at the rally said that the recently appointed NCTB revision committee member, Rakhal Raha alias Sajjad, an outsider red terrorist, has included graffiti in the textbooks that are against the constitution and laws of the state and include the separatist term ‘tribal’. Focusing on this, the latent plan of the hill separatist tribes, their sponsors and allies to separate the Chittagong Hill Tracts from the country behind the tribal demands of the hill separatists, their sponsors and allies, the platform of students dedicated to protecting the country, ‘Students for Sovereignty’, has revealed to the countrymen. For this reason, the separatist tribes, their sponsors and allies, the leftist red terrorists, have joined hands to launch massive propaganda and misinformation against ‘Students for Sovereignty’, filed false cases, two well-wishers have been imprisoned, and members of the organization are being harassed, which is very sad and a threat to the sovereignty of the state.
The aggrieved sovereign students and public have raised three demands.
1. The false case filed against Students for Sovereignty should be withdrawn and all its prisoners should be unconditionally released.
2. The main planners and instigators of the violent incidents in Motijheel, the red terror group Rakhal Raha, Alik Mr. and Armanul Haque Gang, should be arrested immediately and brought to justice. At the same time, those who are defending them, especially the anti-national media outlets Dainik Prothom Alo and Daily Star, should be banned.
3. The word ‘tribal’ is an unconstitutional and anti-national word. Everyone who is demanding ‘tribal’ recognition and working and promoting this demand are separatists and their allies. The state should take the initiative and arrest these traitors and bring them to justice.
Also present at the protest rally at that time were Muhammad Russell, co-spokespersons of the aggrieved sovereign student-people, and Muhammad Saidur Rahman.
