A committee was formed on Wednesday to probe a scuffle and commotion involving several deputy secretaries at the Ministry of Public Administration (MoPA) on Tuesday.
Ministry of Health and Family Welfare Senior Secretary MA Akmall Hossain Azad has been tasked with the investigation and asked to submit a report within seven working days.
In a press release, the MoPA public relations officer said: "To investigate the reasons behind the unexpected incident that took place at the Ministry of Public Administration on Tuesday, a one-member committee led by MA Akmall Hossain Azad has been formed.”
The committee is expected to submit its report within seven working days.
The incident followed the ministry's issuing new appointments for deputy commissioners (DCs) in 59 districts on Monday and Tuesday.
The scuffle, which reportedly erupted among batchmates in the public administration, took place in a senior official's room, marking a rare occurrence in the sector.
The ministry also announced that eight deputy commissioners' appointments had been canceled and four DCs transferred.
The process of appointments and transfers will continue based on credible evidence and ongoing administrative needs.
