M. Reza Hasan has been appointed as the new Deputy Commissioner (DC) and District Magistrate of Sylhet.
He is an officer from the 29th batch of the BCS (Administration) cadre.
Earlier on June 21, former Sylhet DC Md Sarwar Alam was withdrawn and attached to the Ministry of Public Administration as deputy secretary. The post fell vacant for a week before this new appointment.
He was recently in the discussion regarding the district administration's initiative to establish control over the fund management of Hazrat Shahjalal (R) and Shah Paran (R) shrines. On August 18 last year, the interim government appointed Sarwar Alam as the DC of Sylhet. According to the new order, the current DC of Cumilla, Reza Hasan, will take charge as the new DC and District Magistrate of Sylhet.
