ACC launches drive at a Mirpur school

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) launched a drive on Tuesday at a school in Dhaka's Mirpur area over charging higher fee for the registration of Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examination as parts its regular action.

An ACC team conducted the drive instantly at Mirpur Girls Ideal Laboratory Institute after the anti-graft watchdog received the specific complaints through its 106 Hotline.
