SCC CEO transferred
Sylhet City Corporation (SCC) chief executive officer (CEO) Kazi Abdul Noor has been transferred to the Ministry of Home Affairs.
The official (deputy secretary) was transferred at the backdrop of agitation by ward commissioners of the city corporation for months together.
A special meeting of the acting mayor and the ward commissioners was scheduled for April 3 to press for immediate withdrawal of the chief executive officer. Sylhet City Corporation acting mayor Azam Khan brought the matter to notice of the secretary of LGRD Division.
Earlier, 29 ward commissioners of Sylhet City Corporation brought serious charges of corruption and irregularities against the official and moved 'no confidence' motion against him on February 12.
They also sat at an emergency meeting a few weeks ago and demanded immediate action against the official who is also a member of the BCS (Administration) cadre. They urged his removal in the interest of ensuring a better working atmosphere in the corporation.
The commissioners handed over a memorandum to the acting mayor for withdrawal of the official. In line with the provisions of the city corporation, the acting mayor called the meeting with one-month notice and informed the concerned authorities about the matter.
