Chandpur: Thirty-one administrative officers, formerly known as Union Parishad Secretaries, working in different UPs in Chandpur have been transferred according to an order on Thursday. The Local Government Branch of the district administration issued the order assigning the officers to new workplaces across the district’s eight upazilas. The order was signed by Md Ershad Uddin, acting deputy director of the Local Government Branch at the Deputy Commissioner’s Office, Chandpur.

According to United News of Bangladesh, the order stated that in the public interest and with the approval of the appropriate authorities, 31 UP administrative officers have been transferred and posted to various union councils. The transferred officers will have to join their new workplace by August 10. Whoever fails to join their new posts on time will be deemed relieved from their job.

The transferred officers are currently serving in Union Parishads under Chandpur Sadar, Haimchar, Faridganj, Hajiganj, Shahrasti, Matlab North, Matlab South, and Kachua upazilas. Copies of the transfer order have been sent to the Chattogram Divisional Commissioner, all Upazila Nirbahi Officers (UNOs) in Chandpur, and the concerned offices for necessary action.

The transfers are expected to bring changes to the working environment of the district’s Union Parishads. However, their impact on local government services will depend on how quickly the officers join their new workplaces and perform their duties.
