Managing Director of Dhaka WASA Taqsem A Khan has once again sought permission to carry out his duty remotely from the United States.
He submitted an application to the Local Government Division on September 7 seeking a leave of absence from August 10 to October 9.
The application was already approved by the Dhaka WASA Board. However, he couldn't make it due to work commitments.
Later, Taqsem wished to stay in the US for six weeks, from September 24 to November 4, and wanted to attend the office virtually during the trip.
In this application, he stated that he was planning to travel to America for treatment and to visit his family.
Taqsem said the heads of different wings would carry out their tasks routinely and keep in touch with him at all times.
In his absence, Deputy Managing Director AKM Shahid Uddin will attend meetings on behalf of Taqsem to ensure smooth continuity of work, the application stated.
He, meanwhile, said that he would not seek any financial support from the government and would personally bear all the expenses of his trip to the US.
He had previously applied to the Dhaka WASA Board in July for permission to virtually attend office from the US. The matter was discussed at a board meeting on July 7.
However, the board did not approve his request to work virtually.
