Dhaka : Four more advisers of the Bangladeshi caretaker government resigned Tuesday, bringing the total number of resignations to five since Dec 26 last year.
Information Adviser Mainul Hosein, Energy Adviser Tapan Chowdhury, and Industry Adviser Geetiara Safiya Chowdhury have sent their letters of resignation Tuesday.
Meanwhile, private news agency UNB has announced the resignation of Health Adviser Matiur Rahman. President Iajuddin Ahmed is yet to accept Rahman’s resignation.
