Chandpur, Aug 9 (V7N) – Health Minister Sardar Md Sakhawat Hossain has ordered the immediate transfer of Chandpur Civil Surgeon Dr Nure Alam Din over allegations of negligence in performing his duties.
The minister issued the order during a surprise visit to Haimchar Upazila Health Complex, where he expressed dissatisfaction after witnessing mismanagement at the hospital. Later, he visited Chandpur Government General Hospital and spoke to local journalists.
