The senior secretary to the public security division of the home ministry has been transferred within three days of appointment.
Md Mokabbir Hossain has been transferred from the Ministry of Home Affairs to the Ministry of Science and Technology as a senior secretary, according to a circular issued by the public administration ministry today (17 August).
Earlier, Public Security Division secretary Md Jahangir Alam was sent on retirement and Mokabbir, former chairman (senior secretary) of the Bangladesh Energy and Power Research Council (BEPRC), was appointed as the senior secretary of the division on 14 August.
Now, Mohammad Abdul Momen has been appointed as secretary of Public Security Division.
The development comes a day after Brig Gen (retd) M Sakhawat Hussain was replaced as home adviser by Lt Gen (retd) Jahangir Alam Chowdhury, hours after four new advisers, including Jahangir, were sworn into office.
Sakhawat was given the charge of the textiles and jute ministry as the interim government redistributed the portfolios of eight advisers, according to the chief adviser's press wing.
Jahangir, the new home affairs adviser, will also hold the portfolio of the agriculture ministry. He served as the director general of the erstwhile Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) from 2003 to 2006.
