Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) on Thursday terminated two cleaning staffs for illegally taking allotment of a garbage truck and allowing someone else to drive it.
In a press release DSCC said, cleaning staff Harun Mia was terminated for taking allotment of the truck through illegal means, and Abdur Razzak was terminated for help in driving it.
A departmental case was filed against Iran Mia, another driver of the corporation and he was temporarily suspended for allowing someone else to drive a truck that was illegally allotted, said DSCC.
The irresponsibility of the DSCC cleaning staffs led to the death of a Notre Dame College (NDC) student Wednesday as a garbage truck hit him while crossing a road at Golchattar in the city’s Gulistan area.
Patrol police in the area detained the driver Russel Khan while he was fleeing and seized the truck, said Md A Ahad, deputy police commissioner of Motijheel range of DMP.
A case was filed at Paltan police station in this regard following a complaint lodged by Naim’s father, he said.
Russel was neither appointed by DSCC as a driver nor he has any driving license, said the police official.
DSCC driver Harun used to allow Russel to drive the vehicle in his absence, he said.
