Dhaka, Sep 15 (bdnews24.com)— The government has split the Ministry of Food and Disaster Management into two with the latest reshuffle in the cabinet.
The newly formed ministries are the Ministry of Food and the Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief, a government circular issued on Saturday said.
The Food Division and Disaster Management and Relief Division were formed in 2010. The two divisions functioned as separate ministries during the BNP-Jamaat-led coalition government.
When Sheikh Hasina's cabinet took office in 2009, the two ministries were combined and Abdur Razzaque was made its minister.
A H Mahmud Ali, a new face in the cabinet, has been given the Disaster Management and Relief Ministry leaving Abdur Razzaque with the Ministry of Food only.
