Wasa Chairman Golam Mostafa, who brought allegations against the organisation's Managing Director Taqsem A Khan of arbitrariness, has been removed from his post.

However, he claimed to have received no official notification from the ministry regarding his removal.
Furthermore, Mostafa expressed his belief that his removal could be attributed to his previous allegations against the MD.
"The authorities might prefer individuals with questionable integrity, such as Taqsem," the outgoing chairman rebuked.
In a letter to the Ministry of Local Government on 17 May, Wasa board Chairman Golam Mostafa said, "Taqsem A Khan has turned the Dhaka Wasa into a place of irregularities, waste and corruption.
"He has been managing the agency in an autocratic manner as if it is his own estate. The MD has been defying the Wasa board for a long time, but it has now reached an extreme level."
