“There are more than one complaint against the special ayas and ward boys. Therefore, workforce has been recruited in alternative way after deciding them to be sacked,” CMCH Director Brig Gen Mohsen Uddin Ahmad told the media .
“Meanwhile, workforce has been hired through outsourcing in a phase. They will serve duties instead of the ayas and ward boys”
