Sheikh Bashir assigned civil aviation and tourism adviser

Sheikh Bashir Uddin, already serving as the adviser to the Ministry of Commerce and Ministry of Textiles and Jute, has been entrusted with additional responsibilities of the Ministry of Civil Aviation and Tourism. 

The appointment was confirmed through a notification issued by the Cabinet Division.

This development comes in a wake of the student-led mass uprising last year that led to fall of Sheikh Hasina’s government. Following the political shift, an interim government was formed under the leadership of Dr. Muhammad Yunus, who assumed office as the Chief Adviser on August 8. On that day, the Chief Adviser and 17 others took the oath of office. Subsequently, four more advisers were sworn in on August 16, and three additional advisers took their oaths on November 10, including Sheikh Bashir Uddin. Upon his appointment, he was assigned to the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Textiles and Jute.
