Government Titumir College has returned Jobeda Khatun Shastha Seba's (JKG) products after the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) revoked permission for the organisation to collect Covid-19 samples, set up sample collection centres and provide training.

The returned products include: Sample collection boxes, spray bottles, saline, multi plug, Personal protective equipment, soft stripe, shoe cover, head cap, electric kettle, goggles.

JKG Health Care, a sister concern of Oval Group set up 44 sample collection booths in six spots of Dhaka and Narayanganj to collect the samples from potential Covid-19 patients for free.

JKG Health Care became questionable when police, on June 23, detained five people in the capital for alleged involvement in providing Covid-19 test results without testing samples.
