The Chandpur Civil Surgeon Office has sent a Tk1 crore allocation back to the government, fearing irregularities and misappropriation of the fund. Mysteriously, the office has not yet received an official copy of the allocation order signed by DGHS Assistant Director (Budget) Dr Md Anisur Rahman on February 23. Chandpur Civil Surgeon Dr Md Saifur Rahman told the Dhaka Tribune that he was not aware of the allocation order until a supplier, who had interest in the allocation, showed it to him on May 9. The letter also stated that the allocation order did not specify how the fund would be spent. Many would be deprived of health services because of the decision to return the allocation, he added.
