Regarding blame

 

Regarding blame 

Background

I have been working as a research officer at NHRC since 2015 AD. I have been working in the various research projects of this organization.  Similarly, currently I am involved in the clinical trial registry from its initial stage. I am the responsible person for the establishment of the trial registry at NHRC under the instruction and supervision of research head and executive chairman. After conducting a series of meeting with sub-committee of Nepal clinical trial registry, the design was taken to hire a vendor to develop a NPCTR platform on the basis of guidelines sent by Karam Ghassan of WHO/ICTRP.

Personally, I never knew about Mr. Girish Jha before Executive chairman of NHRC (Prof. Dr. Anjani Kumar Jha) and Bijaya Jha sir introduced him and instructed me to talk with him and sent the necessary documents related to the clinical trial registry.  I sent 2 documents to Mr. Girish on Sep 12, 2019; one was concept note and another one was ToR. I forwarded all the documents sent by Karam Ghassan on Oct 17, 2019. These documents were the guidelines for the development of a clinical trial registry. He took all the responsibilities of NPCTR platform. He introduced himself with the identity of an organization i.e. Sudha Computer and also as a computer operator of MoHP.

 During his visit, I was only focused on these guidelines and frequently facilitated him to work on the basis of these documents. Our ultimate aim is to develop a clinical trial registry of Nepal which will be registered at WHO/ICTRP network as primary registry.  https://www.who.int/ictrp/network/primary/en/

 

Regarding mail

Yesterday, I was asked for the justification of the mail sent by Mr. Girish via NHRC officials as that mail was sent to the NHRC and WHO executives. I also got an opportunity to go through that mail. I have some queries to his critical comments.

1. While he sent a mail to the WHO and NHRC executives, I need clarification for not giving me a copy.

2. He was developing the NPCTR platform to be registered in WHO/ICTRP as per ToR and guidelines but I didn't understand the reason regarding mentioning the name of Philippines Trial Registry ( http://www.registry.healthresearch.ph/) which is not registered in WHO/ICTRP. I have never given such a wrong example. I need further clarification with evidence at which point Mr. Girish was misguided and misinformed from me.

3. I kindly request Mr. Girish to submit the proof regarding his consultation with the relevant staff of NHRC or me. (Proof such as emails, meeting minutes or attendances)

4. I have a query about how I suddenly turned ‘oblivious’, ‘unprofessional’ and ‘grudge’ after he received a letter of caution from NHRC executives as per decision of the Nepal clinical trial registry sub-committee meeting held in 2076/12/30. I need strong clarification along with evidence on each of the words he criticized me.

 

 Others

I came to know about the technical report submitted by Mr. Girish to WCO on 1st May, 2020 through Mr. Paban Ghimire (of WHO country office). I am surprised to see how could this technical report be accepted in such an incomplete state i.e. under Annex II and III, columns of date, venue, participants and visiting personnel are left empty. Furthermore, according to the cover page of this report, it seems to be initially submitted to NHRC. I am still unaware who received and cross verified this technical report. I could not find the proof of cross verification and registration on it i.e. Registration number and stamp of NHRC.

 

I would like to kindly inform you that this report was submitted without my consultation. Truth is that once Mr. Girish came to me with the request of signature on this technical report. However, I declined to sign on it because the tasks declared complete in this report were unfinished in the real situation. Along with my all of this observation, I would like to kindly request you to investigate who assisted Mr. Girish from NHRC to submit such incomplete report to WCO by preparing a task completion letter which bypassed my (focal person) consent and signature.

 

 

Activities done during COVID-19 pandemic at the NHRC

On April 30 2020, I sent a request email to maintain and upgrade NPCTR platform to WHO copied with Mr. Girish on behalf of member secretary (Dr. Pradeep Gyanwali). During this COVID-19 pandemic time, researchers tried to submit research trial-related to COVID-19 but the NPCTR application platform was not functioning properly. He replied an email by mentioning that his team was not available and he was unable to work during lock down period. On behalf of the member secretary of NHRC, I asked him to send all the details code and password. After getting the details, IT team (IT officer of NHRC along with consultant) is working on NPCTR to accomplish the unfinished templates of NPCTR platform. Some of the basic points to upgrade an NPCTR platform are but not limited to the following.

·      Comments, feedback returns to an applicant.

·      Notification to the applicant by an application.

·      Notification through email to the applicant.

·      Notification option for administrations.

Analytical is reporting category-wise for the administration.

·      Auto email account activation for the applicant

 

For NHRC

As per ToR he signed, in the proposed work plan section it has been clearly mentioned that NPCTR platform have to be tested with CTRI within 6 months and with WHO/ICTRP within 24 months. I am working as per the norms and regulations of NHRC as instructed by NHRC executives and officials. I always follow the guidelines of WHO/ICTRP to develop the NPCTR platform for early accreditation. Along with this application, I have attached the email conversation to Mr. Girish for kind perusal.

 

 My request for NHRC and Nepal government

I have a moral security threat from his uncopied mail. It is the direct defamation “manhani” of public health professional working during COVID-19 pandemic by writing a false statement that is damaging to my reputation in international society (WHO), Nepal (NHRC) and my professional career. I kindly request you to take strict action to Mr. Girish for his activities of defaming my professional career. I need justice by solving this issue via Civil and Criminal Code Acts

Like me Lady Colleagues Harassing Everydays in Bangladesh

Nobody in this world will be alive forever. But two bengali people shows their behavior like they are life longer. They never shows their loyalty and respectness to colleagues and friends. They have ego for nothing, which I can't describe in the word. They changed their color like the chameleon. This is the daily routine for myself from last 3 months. I am mentally and physically ill and sick from their dictatorship. In the same time, perpetrators are available everywhere. My colleagues has more than bitter experiences she is harassing everyday from her landlord. Till date CSF is not taking action against him. Landlord showed the gratitude to her by saying like the daughter and knocking the door, calling in late night, messaging her with sexual exploited words. This is the peak stage of humiliation in Bangladesh.  How can we tolerate here? We need a peace, safe, secure and friendly working environment. Please god give me the power to struggle here.
