In an unprecedented, direct executive intervention aimed at enforcing institutional accountability, Prime Minister Tarik Rahman has ordered immediate punitive and disciplinary actions against eight high-ranking bureaucrats of the Dhaka North and South City Corporations (DNCC & DSCC). Following an unannounced, self-driven vehicular inspection of the capital’s municipal zones, the Prime Minister summarily relieved two Regional Executive Officers of their duties, transferring their jurisdiction to the Ministry of Public Administration. Concurrently, a definitive 48-hour executive ultimatum has been issued to implement stringent disciplinary indictments against six additional apex municipal officials, including Chief Executive Officers and Chief Health Officers.
The sweeping administrative shake-up transpired late Friday afternoon when Prime Minister Rahman personally piloted a vehicle through the capital’s high-density corridors to conduct an empirical assessment of post-Eid-ul-Azha livestock waste reclamation and critical urban infrastructure projects. Observing widespread, hazardous accumulation of decomposing refuse across vital intersections—specifically within Hatirpool, Elephant Road, Green Road, Farmgate, and the Karwan Bazar commercial hub—the Prime Minister expressed profound dissatisfaction with the systemic inertia displayed by municipal solid waste management Directorates, ordering the immediate suspension of the respective regional chiefs on the spot.
State Minister for Local Government, Rural Development, and Co-operatives, Miah Shah Alam, who was present within the prime ministerial vehicular convoy, confirmed the high-stakes disciplinary measures to international and national news pools. “The Prime Minister conducted this impromptu field assessment to evaluate the strategic operational synchronization of municipal cleaning grids. Infuriated by the visible failure to execute waste clearance mandates, the Prime Minister directed that the delinquent regional executives be instantly stripped of their operational command, attached to the public administration ministry as Officers on Special Duty (OSD), and subjected to formal departmental litigation,” State Minister Alam elucidated.
The high-level executive inspection convoy further included the Administrator of Dhaka South City Corporation, Mo. Abdus Salam, the Special Secretary of the BNP National Executive Committee, Muhammad Belayet Hossain, and the Private Secretary-II to the Prime Minister, Advocate Mehedul Islam. State Minister Alam underscored that the Prime Minister’s disciplinary mandate extends vertically to the apex management tiers of the twin corporations. The executive directive explicitly mandates the immediate recall and structural prosecution of the Chief Executive Officers (CEOs), Chief Waste Management Officers (CWMOs), and Chief Health Officers (CHOs) of both municipalities for their catastrophic failure to mitigate urban waterlogging, optimize drainage outlets, and execute preemptive bio-vector control protocols against the escalating Dengue virus vectors.
