Three government doctors in Nilphamari have been remaining absent from their workplaces for years and authority concerned yet to get their response of show-cause notices sent by the authority concerned to their respective addresses several times.
The absent physicians are Dr. Imran Hasan posted as medical officer in Dimla Upazila Health Complex and Dr Mamunur Rashid, Medical Officer of Nautara Health Sub Center of same Dimla upazila.
The third one is Dr Shawkat Ali, Medical Officer of neighbouring Domar upazila health complex of the district.
The absent doctors even didn’t draw their monthly salary in this long period of their absence, informed Ansarul Islam, account of district health department.
Ranajit Kumar Barman, Civil Surgeon (CS) of Nilphamari said, “Being aware about the absent doctors, we sent official letters to them in their permanent home addresses three times but failed to get their response till now.”
Health directorate conducted probe against the absent doctors and found truth of the allegation but failed to contact with them though they are still attached with their previous official work places, the CS added.
