Dhaka: The Ministry of Housing and Public Works has taken disciplinary action against two officials of the Public Works Department (PWD) over abnormal expenses in the Rooppur Green City project in Pabna.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Deputy Assistant Engineer Md. Shahin Uddin has been compulsorily retired, while Deputy Assistant Engineer Md Alamgir Hossain has been demoted to a lower pay grade. This decision follows findings from investigations conducted by the ministry and PWD. The investigations were initiated over allegations of inflated costs in purchasing and installing furniture for the 16th and 20th floor buildings of the project in 2019, which found both engineers guilty of misconduct under government service rules.
The disciplinary actions were enforced through separate orders signed by Md. Nazrul Islam, Secretary of the Ministry of Housing and Public Works, on the order of the President, on September 4, 2025.
