DMTCL’s incompetent MD Farooq Ahmed is wasting time to implement other’s agenda without taking any effective decision on the matter. In service-oriented and sophisticated institutions like Metrorail, DMTCL dismissed the incompetent MD Farooq Ahmed as the matter involved national interest, Bangladesh state structure and government laws.An experienced government official who is aware of this can run the organization properly.
The current MD takes all decisions based on the opinion of only his PS and a handful of close people (eg GM Signalling, Company Secretary) without consulting the senior officers of the organization.

DMTCL’sincompetent MD Faruk Ahmed is wasting time implementing someone else’s agenda without taking any decision on the effective issue. Since national interest is involved in the matter, DMTCL should relieve the incompetent MD Faruk Ahmed and allow an experienced government official who is knowledgeable about the structure of the Bangladesh state and government laws and regulations to run theinstitution smoothly.
The current MD makes all decisions based on the opinions of only his PS and a handful of close people (such as GM Signaling, Company Secretary) without consulting the senior officers of the organization.
On their advice, the MD has unfairly and unjustly declared the posts vacant against the three newly appointed (GM-Admin Nasir Uddin Tarafdar, GM-Finance Kamal Anwar, GM-PORamzan Ali, GM Operation Iftekhar Ahmed and Director Operation Nasir Uddin Ahmed) and published a new recruitment notice, citing their poor performance as the reason. But the basis on which he measured their performance is questionable. His stubborn decision has created extreme dissatisfaction and unrest among the officers and employees.
Recently, a senior official was dismissed simply becausehe refused to be involved in this misdeed, violating the prevailing government rule of seeking presidential approval, which is legally mandatory for the dismissal of this senior official.
Contractors have been waiting to start field work for 3 packages, including a tunnel construction package, since last February. However, the current management is deliberately trying to cancel thosecontracts.
This MD MRT Line-1 project office was shifted from Agargaon to Diabari and the MRT Line-1 consultant’s office was shifted to Diabari at the end of this month and the consultant’s manpower was laid off, stalling the progress of the project, forcing the government to close the two projects.
This person, inexperienced in government work, has become a fool after being appointed as the MDof DMTCL. By giving an inexperienced person like him the responsibility of heading such an important institution, the establishment has been pushed to the brink of collapse.
Providing incorrect, false, or misleading information in the application submitted for the position of Managing Director is disqualifying.
All contractual appointments from Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL) toretired government officials are not legally valid and are illegal under Act No. 57 of the Government Service Act, 2018.
It is necessary to investigate how and why Faruk Ahmed (Bangladesh National Identity Card No. 7306024220), an Australian passport holder (passport number RA6237296) and an Indian Aadhaar card holder (card number 266620919162), was appointed to the important post of MD of DhakaMass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL).
