The government has assigned new deputy commissioners (DCs) to four more districts.

These officers, holding the rank of deputy secretary, will serve as district magistrates alongside their roles as DCs.

The Ministry of Public Administration issued a gazette notification appointing the new DCs for Thakurgaon, Rangpur, Rajbari, and Pabna on Wednesday.

Afroza Parvin, a director at the Bangladesh Public Procurement Authority (BPPA), has been appointed DC of Rajbari.

The ministry also issued separate notifications withdrawing the current DCs of the four districts.

Following their withdrawal, they have been attached to the ministry for subsequent postings.
