Taposh fires top DSCC officials

The new Dhaka South City Corporation chief, Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh, fired two top officials of the corporation from their jobs on Sunday, a day after taking his charge as the city mayor.

The mayor removed DSCC chief revenue officer (acting) Yusuf Ali Sarder and additional chief engineer Asaduzzaman in separate office orders on the day, hours after he held a meeting with the top corporation officials.

The fired officials were much close to former mayor Mohammad Sayeed Khokon and were allegedly involved in corruption, officials at the corporation said.

Copies of the office orders received by New Age reads that the two officials were removed under section 64 (2) of Dhaka Dakkhin City Corporation Chakuri Bidhimala 2019 for the interest of the people and the DSCC.

The removed officials were asked to receive their 90 days’ salary.
