Daily Bijoy News Manohardy Narsingdi Correspondent:

In Manohardi, the medicines of the community clinic were not kept in the clinic but were kept in the neighboring house of Mustafa under the supervision of the clinic's CHCP Rozi Akter.  4 cartons of prohibited drugs were found from Mustafar's house next to the community clinic located in Domonmara village of Ward No. 4 of Khidirpur Union. These recovered medicines include various birth control pills, food saline, vitamins, calcium, antibiotic tablets. Wednesday (22 May) These medicines were recovered from Mustafa's house adjacent to the clinic in Domonmara village of Khidirpur Union on the basis of secret information in the afternoon. Khidirpur UP Chairman Kausar Rashid Biblab went to that house and found four cartons of medicines after getting the news through local people.

Later, the medicine cartons recovered from that house were taken to the Union Parishad office. Speaking to the local people on the ground, Rosie Akhter, the Community Healthcare Provider (CHCP) in charge of the Domonmara Community Clinic, stores the clinic's medicines in her own house and sells them to outsiders. For a long time these free medicines are being sold without distribution to the public Some local people complain. Again, most of the people say that medicine used to be taken at 2 rupees earlier and now it is taken at 5 rupees but it is distributed free to the poor.

CHCP Rosie Akhter said, the medicines were not kept there for sale. On rainy days, the driver brought medicines from the hospital and kept them in that house. They were not brought to the clinic for safety reasons due to lack of time and the threat of theft. Khidirpur UP Chairman Kawsar Rashid Biplab said that 4 cartons of medicine were recovered from Mustafar's house adjacent to the clinic after receiving information from the local people.  Later on the instructions of the Upazila Nirbahi Officer UP These medicines are kept in the office. Soleiman Mridha, president of Domonmara Community Clinic and member of Ward No. 4 of Khidirpur Union Parishad, said, "When the driver of the car left the medicine at home because it was raining while bringing the medicine, CHCP Rosie Akhter, in charge of the clinic, told me that because there was no night watchman in the clinic, I was afraid that the medicine would be stolen." The decision was kept in Mustafa's house.

Upazila Health and Family Planning Officer Dr. Rashedul Hasan Mahmud said, because there is no night watchman at the community clinic, he has kept the medicines at home due to lack of security. If any evidence of drug sale is found, necessary action will be taken after inspection. Manohardi Upazila Nirbahi Officer Hashiba Khan said, after receiving the news, I am informing the Upazila Health and Family Planning Officer. Authority in this regard If you want to take legal action, the guilty will be brought to justice subject to investigation.
