Ziauddin Shikdar appointed as Chairman of Barishal Development Authority

Md. Ziauddin Shikdar Zia, member secretary of Barishal city BNP, has been appointed as the chairman of the Barishal Development Authority. The appointment was made for a one-year term on a contractual basis under a notification issued by the Ministry of Public Administration, signed by Senior Assistant Secretary Al-Bashirul Islam under the orders of the President.

Having faced various adversities in his political career, Zia was seriously injured in attacks by Awami League activists during the July uprising in 2024. Long involved in BNP politics, local party members view his appointment as recognition of his loyalty, political sacrifices, and active role during difficult times.

Expressing gratitude, Ziauddin Shikdar Zia stated that he aims to work towards building Barishal as a planned, modern, and habitable city, while seeking cooperation and prayers from all residents in fulfilling his new responsibility.
