Iqbal Mahmud said government employees, civil society, media and all others concerned should try hard in a consolidated way to fight corruption.
Working standard of ACC officials has improved, Iqbal Mahmud commented. However, ACC officials should concentrate more on their work and they should comply with the instructions accorded by ACC for enhancement of professional quality.
