Two officials of Gazipur’s Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University (BSMRAU) have been suspended over the power-cut fiasco at a programme attended by the prime minister on Saturday.
University Registrar Kazi Abdul Khalek on Monday said the duo had been suspended for dereliction of duty.
Suspended officials are BSMRAU’s Chief Engineer Md Ekramul Haque and its Executive Engineer Md Abul Hashem.
Haque was suspended on Saturday evening while Hashem was dismissed on Sunday.
Earlier on May 9, Rural Electrification Board (REB) Chairman Brig Gen Moin Uddin suspended its Gazipur unit Manager Md Jahirul Islam and Deputy General Manager Khan Md Borhan Uddin.
Gazipur REB’s Chhayabithi zonal office Deputy General Manager Noor Mohammad has been made the acting general manager.
Sheikh Hasina was attending the 16th anniversary of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University.
The power outage hit the programme shortly after the prime minister inaugurated several establishments around 10:30am, halting the programme for about 15 minutes.
