NBR chairman warns staff over protests and vows action against corruption

The head of Bangladesh's tax collection agency sent a clear message to workers who caused trouble during recent protests. Abdur Rahman Khan told reporters that rule-breakers would pay the price for their actions. Staff members who crossed the line during demonstrations at the main tax office should expect different treatment. Workers who stick to their duties and act professionally have nothing to worry about. The NBR chairman made these comments during a Monday meeting with news reporters at his Dhaka office.

Khan shared some good news about money collection during the recent fiscal year. His department brought in over 3.68 lakh crore taka through June 30th. The final numbers might show even more cash flowing into government coffers. Custom offices across the country are back to normal operations after the disruption ended. The chairman seemed pleased that business had returned to regular patterns.

The tax chief asked all NBR workers to focus on serving their country instead of personal goals. He wants employees to put aside selfish interests and work hard for Bangladesh. Khan also issued a stern warning about dishonest behavior among his staff. Anyone caught stealing or taking bribes would face serious legal trouble. The chairman promised that corrupt officials would not escape punishment under his watch.
