Atiq Ullah, a mosquito extermination worker employed through a contractor, was absent today after coming to work yesterday after the Eid holiday. However, a small plastic bottle attached to the spray machine he used contained the larvicidal drug Tamifos. Volume is about 30 mL. Other workers said that the medicine was from yesterday.
The previous day's medicine is not supposed to be left, why is it like that – the staff present did not give any answer.
Calling the contact number of Atiq Ullah in the city corporation's whistleblower list was disconnected.
When called to the mobile number of Ward No. 29 Moshak Supervisor Anwarul Haque, he did not pick up.
The ward is under Zone 5 of Dhaka North City. SM Wasimul Islam is in charge of the assistant health officer of the region. He told Prothom Alo on the phone that he was on a long vacation. He returned to the country today. But there was another officer on additional duty in his place. He said that from now on, there will be no such negligence of the workers.
