Ministry dismisses heads of 42 sports bodies

Since the change of government, a wave of changes has swept across various sectors in the country, including the sports arena. Previously, the Ministry of Youth and Sports had removed the heads of three federations and ordered the dissolution of all divisional, district, and women sports associations to form ad-hoc committees. Now, 42 presidents of federations and sports associations have been dismissed at once.
The Ministry of Youth and Sports announced the decision in a press release on Tuesday. This step was taken under the orders of President Mohammad Shahabuddin.
In the press release, signed by the Assistant Secretary of the National Sports Council (NSC), S.M. Humayun Kabir, it was stated, "Under the powers granted by Section 22 of the National Sports Council Act, 2018, the government hereby relieves the presidents of the following federations/associations/boards of their duties to further activate and reform the operations of the existing federations/associations/boards."
