Former Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) Mayor Atiqul Islam is under fire for allegedly appointing his daughter as Chief Heat Officer without proper authorization. The controversial move has sparked widespread outrage and raised serious questions about nepotism and corruption within the city administration.
Islam’s daughter was reportedly paid a staggering BDT 8 lakh per month for the role, despite lacking the necessary qualifications and experience. The allegations came to light during a recent court hearing, adding to existing corruption charges against the former mayor.
Following the change in government, Atiqul Islam was dismissed from his position and eventually arrested after two months of evading authorities. The ongoing investigation into his actions is likely to shed further light on the extent of his alleged wrongdoing and may lead to additional legal consequences.
The controversy surrounding Atiqul Islam highlights the pervasive issue of corruption and nepotism in Bangladesh’s public institutions. The public is demanding accountability and transparency from those in positions of power, as the allegations against the former mayor have eroded public trust in the city government.
