The government has appointed secretary Iqbal Mahmood the new chief of Bangladesh Telecommunica-tion Regulatory Commission (BTRC) for the next three years.
He is replacing Sunil Kanti Bose, whose contract will end on October 22, reports bdnews24.com.
Mahmood, currently on leave preparatory retirement, can join office on Oct 23 cancelling his leave, a government order on Tuesday said.
His three-year tenure will be counted from the day he takes charge.
The 1981 batch BCS officer became a secretary in June 2008 while serving as acting secretary to the Posts and Telecommunications Ministry.
He was made the Public Administration Ministry's secretary the following year.
In 2012, the government created the post of 'senior secretary' and promoted eight bureaucrats, including Mahmood, who was the secretary to the Economic Relations Division at that time.
He was made the ADB's alternate executive director in November that year and went on LPR last December after his tenure ended.
