Staff Correspondent :
The government on Thursday removed the mayor of Dinajpur sadar municipality, Jahangir Alam, on charge of irregularities.
The local government division issued a circular in this regard.
The circular said Jahangir Alam has caused financial losses to the municipality by reducing taxes of different persons in breach of the rules.
“Apart from this, he recruited manpower despite there is no need of manpower in the local government body,” it said.
When contacted, Jahangir, a joint secretary of the Dinajupur district unit of Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), said he heard about his removal but did not receive any letter in this connection.
