The Prime Minister’s Office has ordered the reconstitution of existing government committees at the divisional, district and upazila levels.
The directive asks ministries, departments and agencies to ensure representation of all relevant stakeholders in the reconstituted committees. Each committee should also include three locally prominent people, including at least one woman.
According to sources, the move is aimed at removing Awami League supporters from the committees. The directive covers 98 priority committees, along with other existing committees under government ministries and agencies.
