Fertiliser Scam: Probe body formed
The Ministry of Industries yesterday formed a probe committee to investigate corruption and anomalies in the urea fertiliser transportation and distribution system following a series of reports published by The Daily Star in the last few days.
Industries Minister Amir Hossain Amu formed the three-member committee at a meeting with top officials of the ministry.
“We've formed the committee to probe the matter,” he told The Daily Star at his ministry office yesterday.
The minister said on Saturday that he directed the secretary of the ministry to form a committee to this end.
The committee, led by Additional Secretary Sushen Chandra Das, would start investigation soon, said an official of the ministry. The two other members of the committee are Joint Secretary Md Ziaur Rahman Khan and Deputy Secretary Md Aminur Rahman.
Daily Prothom Alo also ran three stories on this issue.
