Days after Prime Minister Tarique Rahman took oath, Bangladesh carried out major changes in its army leadership. The orders were issued by Army Headquarters following the new government’s formation. Lieutenant General M Mainur Rahman was appointed chief of general staff. Major General Kaiser Rashid Chowdhury was named director general of the Directorate General of Forces Intelligence. Other senior posts were also reassigned. The BNP government also recalled Brigadier General Mohammad Hafizur Rahman from his post as defence adviser at the Bangladesh High Commission in India. He has been promoted to major general and appointed GOC of the 55th Infantry Division. The reshuffle follows BNP’s two-thirds majority win in the February 12 elections. (PC: NDTV)
