Road, Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader today said people are astonished at the fraudulence of two hospitals in coronavirus sample testing.

He made the remark while briefing reporters online from his official residence.

Quader, also Awami League General Secretary, urged the authorities concerned to bring all the accused to justice soon after investigations.

Quader said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government neither spared wrongdoers in the past nor will do in the future.

About cattle markets before the upcoming Eid-ul-Azha, Quader said permission will not be given to arrange animal markets whimsically at any place beside highways.

Over the experts' fear of coronavirus transmission during Eid, Quader said the National Technical Advisory Committee has advised not to allow setting up animal markets in some districts.

 It will bring good results if their advice is followed properly, Quader added.
