The Local Government Division under the Ministry of Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives on Wednesday appointed Mohammad Azaz, Chairman of River and Delta Research Centre, as the new administrator for the Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC).
Azaz Ahmed would be the first administrator from the private sector to join in any of the local government institution.
He has been appointed as the Dhaka North administrator on a full-time basis for a one year term, according to a circular issued by the ministry and signed by Deputy Secretary of the Local Government Division of the Ministry Mahbuba Ireen on Wednesday.
While talking to media, Azaz said, "I'll officially join on Thursday (today) and start my work from Sunday. I'll start my work by visiting the mass graveyard of the mass uprising of 2024 in Mohammadpur first. I want everyone's cooperation while discharging my duties."
"My primary aim is to reduce discrimination in this city. I don't view Dhaka as everyone else views it. I want to carry out my activities in a democratic way," Azaz added.
