ACC makes second visit to Sadarghat launch terminal
DHAKA, June 10, 2018 (BSS) – The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) visited
the Sadarghat Launch Terminal for the second time today to check
irregularities in selling launch tickets.
After receiving an allegation of irregularities in selling tickets over ACC
hotline 106, the anti-graft watchdog sent a seven-member enforcement team,
headed by ACC assistant director Raiful Islam, to Sadarghat Launch Terminal.
“It is a part of the regular drive to ensure corruption-free passenger
services in the naval routes,” ACC director general (admin) Mohammad Munir
Chowdhury said.
Earlier on June 5, a 10-member team of ACC visited Sadarghat launch
terminal to monitor operation of water vessels to ensure safe journey for Eid
holidaymakers on water routes.
The team asked the Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority to take
necessary measures to stop plying of unfit, risky and illegal vessels and put
a check on charging of extra fares from passengers.
