CCC staff held over taking extra charges
A councillor of Chittagong City Corporation (CCC) yesterday caught a staff of health department red-handed while he was overcharging for administering vaccines to local children.
Nazim Uddin, have been working at City Corporation Urban Primary Health Care Center in Sholoshahar area as a permanent staff for several years, said CCC ward-8 Shulakbahar councillor Morshed Alam. Some locals informed him over the phone that the health worker was charging each parent Tk 50 to 100 although the city corporation-fixed charge is only Tk 10, he added.
Upon reaching the centre, the councillor checked the register which had 30 names but found over Tk 1,000. Nazim failed to defend himself.
The CCC secretariat has been informed about the issue and an investigation is going on, he said.
