CDA Chairman Mohammad Yunus removed

CHATTOGRAM, Sept 02: Mohammad Yunus, who was appointed as the Chattogram Development Authority (CDA) Chairman just four months ago, has been removed from his position. Engineer Md. Nurul Karim has been appointed as the new Chairman of CDA.
The decision was communicated through an official notification issued by Kaniz Fatima, Deputy Secretary of the Contracts and Foreign Recruitment Branch of the Ministry of Public Administration, on Monday.
According to the notification, the remaining tenure of Mohammad Yunus's appointment has been cancelled. Engineer Md.

It is stipulated that Nurul Karim must sever all working relationships with other institutions and organisations to assume this role.
