Syed Jahangir Alam was elected Mayor of Dinajpur Paurshwa for the third consecutive time.
The Local Government Division issued a notification suspending Syed Jahangir Alam on October 31.
The notification said the Appellate Division held Syed Jahangir Alam guilty of contempt of court.
Further, as per Section 32 (1) (kha) (gha) of the Local Government (Paurshwa) Act, 2009, the Government does not consider the exercise of power by the Dinajpur Paurshwa Mayor to be justified from an administrative point of view, particularly because the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate of Dinajpur had sent him to jail on charges of “indulging in activities detrimental to the cause of Paurashava or the State, moral turpitude and improper conduct and abuse of power”.
Therefore, according to Section 31 (1) of the Act, Syed Jahangir Alam has been suspended from the post of Dinajpur Paurshwa Mayor.
