ACC conducts countrywide drives to sweep out irregularities

DHAKA, Nov 10, 2025 (BSS) - The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) today 
conducted three separate enforcement drives across the country to investigate 
allegations of irregularities in the health, public works, and agriculture 
sectors.

According to an ACC press release, a team from the Commission's Head Office 
conducted a drive at the Public Works E&M Division-3 under the Directorate of 
Public Works following allegations that corrupt officials and contractors had 
withdrawn bills without completing assigned work and embezzled government 
funds.

The team also investigated a complaint of Taka 1 million bribe demand by an 
official, collected related records, and took statements from the 
authorities.

In Munshiganj district, another ACC team from the Integrated District Office 
conducted a drive at the 250-bed General Hospital following complaints of 
harassment in healthcare services, mismanagement, and financial and 
administrative irregularities. 

During the drive, the team found the hospital environment unhygienic and 
poorly managed.

Officials collected tender records of the 2024-25 fiscal year, statements 
from employees, and other relevant documents, including attendance and 
register books. 

In Meherpur district, ACC raided the Meherpur Sadar Upazila Agriculture 
Office over allegations of misappropriation of funds allocated for farmers.

The team reviewed financial support distributions for 4,000 farmers under the 
summer onion cultivation programme and collected allocation copies, 
distribution records, and other financial documents.

A detailed report will be submitted after reviewing the documents obtained 
during the drives.
