Cities, districts, upazilas, municipalities to get full-time administrators 

The interim government has decided to appoint full-time administrators in the city corporations, Zila Parishads, Upazila Parishads and municipalities. 

AF Hassan Ariff, adviser to the Ministry of Local Government, Rural Development, and Cooperatives, and the Ministry of Land, announced this at views exchange meeting with members of the Bangladesh Secretariat Reporters Forum (BSRF) at the Secretariat on Wednesday.

“We understand that it is not feasible to provide services for such large entities with just a temporary administrator. There are ongoing responsibilities and duties that need to be fulfilled. For this, a full-time administrator is essential. We are taking steps in this regard, and you will be informed shortly”, he said.
