28 junior officials vow not to be corrupt
Twenty-eight young research assistants of the Department of Environment (DoE) yesterday took oath to stay away from corruption and influence in preserving the country's environment.
They joined the department three months back. Their main task is to check waste management systems of factories at field levels, says a press release.
DoE Director (enforcement) Mohammad Munir Chowdhury administered the oath at the end of a weeklong training at the DoE.
Before the oath, Munir Chowdhury told them, “Environment pollution can be checked at grassroots levels if those responsible for the laboratories are honest and courageous”.
This will improve the image of the DoE and reduce immoral pressure, but create scopes for corruption if they are not honest, he said.
“Dishonesty of the research assistants will cause environmental degradation, affect the people, but will benefit some individuals”.
