The government yesterday appointed former post and telecom secretary Sunil Kanti Bose as the chairman of Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC).
After his retirement from the ministry on December, Bose will serve the commission on a contract of three years, according to a circular of the public administration ministry.
But he may leave the ministry and join the BTRC before his retirement date, said an official of the ministry.
Bose will be the BTRC's fifth chairman that became vacant when its last chairman, Zia Ahmed, died of cardiac arrest on September 10.
Bose joined civil service in 1979. He completed his masters on zoology from Dhaka University and gained another master degree on forestry from Peswar University of Pakistan.
