Corruption Engulfs Railway: Quader


DHAKA NEWS

Communications Minister Obaidul Quader said on Monday that a vicious cycle of anomalies has engulfed Bangladesh Railways.

“If the cycle remains unbroken, the embattled sector will collapse,” Quader, who is now discharging additional duty of railways ministry, told reporters at Rail Bhaban in the capital around 1:15pm.

He was briefing the newsmen after a meeting with railway officials from all over the country.

Quader said he have received a number of complaints regarding the anomalies. “A high profile investigation committee will be formed to probe the irregularities after the prime minister returns from Doha,” he said.

Asked whether he can break the vicious cycle of corruption, the minister replied, “Well, if I get sufficient time to work on this.”

Quader has been given the additional charge of the ministry following the removal of Suranjit Sengupta from the ministry.

"I need further investigation into this matter to dip into the issues of internal corruption in the railways," he added.
