Another ACC deputy director suspended

An order signed by ACC Chairman Dr. Mohammad Abdul Momen stated that this action has been taken against Kamlesh Mondal for not submitting the investigation report on time.

Sources said that during his duty, he was given the responsibility of investigating allegations of corruption and contracting against PD and Additional Chief Engineer Akhtaruzzaman of Dhaka Water Supply Network Improvement Project of Dhaka WASA and some others.

The order states that he will receive food allowance as per the prevailing rules while on suspension.
