Work at the ICT Division has had to face various setbacks over the last few months because of an alleged power-struggle between the state minister and the secretary.

The internal hostility between the two became visible to the public eye when ICT Secretary Md Nazrul Islam Khan allegedly skipped several major events where State Minister for ICT Zunaid Ahmed Palak had also been invited.

However, the power-struggle inside the division apparently came to an end yesterday, with Nazrul being granted a request for transfer to another ministry.

Sources inside the Information and Communication Technology Division told the Dhaka Tribune that no single programme in the past few months had seen both Palak and Nazrul in attendance together.
