Mainul Abedin Khan, Barguna Representative:
The reign of Anitam is going on in Haldita Uniiton Health and Family Planning Center of Amtali Upazila of Barguna. There is no government policy, no national flag should be drawn in the office. The employees are working as per their own will.

Locals complain that the government does not follow any of the rules and regulations announced by the government in the health center. The workers come and go to the office. After one time, they have no importance in the patient.

The office is scheduled from 8 am to 3 pm but the Assistant Community Medical Officer (SACMO) and Family Welfare Inspector (FWV) come to the office and go to the house as per their wish. They are supposed to live in the same center but they live elsewhere.

Sunday at 12 noon On the ground, you can see the gita, the office lock is closed and the office premises are not a national flag. When the officials asked where the officials said, "Sacmo Anuj sir has gone to the house today and Bristi madam has gone to the house and the night watchman is sometimes in the office."

When the Family Welfare Inspector (FWV) called Bristy, he said, "I came to his house to see a maternity patient and now I am coming to the clinic. Half an hour after the call, the Family Welfare Inspector (FWV) came to the rain clinic and locked the key of the clinic from Yusuf. When he asked him about closing his office, he went to the registry of the building and asked for the registrar account of November and December.
