BartaBangla Report :: The government on Wednesday formed a four-member committee to investigate the rumour that hundreds of children reported sick after they were fed Vitamin A plus capsule.
Disclosing this to newsmen in Dhaka Wednesday noon, State Minister for health Dr. Captain (Retd) Mujibur Rahman Fakir said the committee, headed by additional secretary of health ministry Shafiquel Islam, has been asked to submit its report within a week.
Earlier, the health ministry on Tuesday urged people, particularly parents, all not to get confused by rumours spread in different parts of the country over Vitamin A plus capsule feeding.
Tuesday was the day scheduled for administering vitamin A capsules to millions of children across the country.
Government said an evil quarter is trying to make people panicked by spreading propaganda and rumour at different parts of the country over the capsule.
Media reports quoting unspecified sources said hundreds of children up to five years of age fell sick after they were fed the capsule during nationwide Vitamin-A Plus Capsule Feeding Campaign under the Health Ministry.
Some newspapers Wednesday carried reports saying some 300 children fell sick in Rangpur, another 1,000 in Satkhira and 700 more in Chittagong.
