Bangladesh Health Adviser Resigns, Second Senior Official to Exit

A senior health official in Bangladesh, Sayedur Rahman, has resigned from his position.

He was a special assistant to the chief adviser for health.

This makes him the second high-ranking official to leave the government in just one week.

The first was Khuda Baksh Chowdhury from the home ministry.

Rahman said he resigned a month ago, and his resignation was accepted on Tuesday.

His government service term ended on the same day.

The reason for his resignation is not clear yet.

This comes after some people criticized the government for how it handled recent violent incidents in the country.
