Drama of BTCL reshuffle

A drama of appointing a managing director at 12noon and cancelling it three hours later played out at state-owned Bangladesh Telecommunication Company Ltd (BTCL) yesterday.
The company's member (administration) Azizul Islam said he received a letter from the telecommunication ministry that appointed him as acting managing director to BTCL.
The ministry sent another letter to BTCL at 3pm, cancelling his appointment and reinstating the previous managing director to the post.
Azizul Islam said he was unaware of why the ministry appointed him suddenly and changed it later.
The current managing director (acting), Abu Sayed Khan, who holds the position of a member (finance), said he was not aware of any dispute over his appointment.
Khan said he got to know about the change in incumbency when he was heading to the office in the morning.
A BTCL official said some other officials were promoted yesterday. Bahadur Ali, a member (planning and development), was appointed as member (commercial), a position that does not exist in BTCL's organogram.
