ARA--------------------------According to an official notification issued by the Urban Development and Housing Department, Md. Neshat Alam, the former Executive Officer of the Shahpur Nagar Panchayat, has been relieved from his period of suspension. As per the information received, a special meeting of the Departmental Suspension Review Committee regarding this matter was held on April 29, 2026.

During this meeting, the case of the concerned official underwent a thorough review, and the representations submitted by him were discussed in detail. After evaluating all aspects of the case and the available evidence, the committee recommended his reinstatement from suspension.

The Urban Development and Housing Department has issued a detailed order in this regard, and the concerned district officials as well as departmental offices have been apprised of this decision to ensure that future administrative proceedings are completed within the stipulated timeframe.

In the case of Md. Neshat Alam, the departmental committee arrived at this decision after examining his representations and the prevailing circumstances at the time. Following this decision, the process of reassigning duties to the concerned official will be advanced in accordance with departmental regulations. The offices of the Urban Development and Housing Department have been directed to prioritize the necessary administrative actions in light of this notification.

It is pertinent to note that on March 20, 2026, acting on the directives of the then Minister of Urban Development and Housing (who also served as the Deputy Chief Minister), Vijay Kumar Sinha, Md. Neshat Alam—the Executive Officer of the Shahpur Nagar Panchayat—was suspended from his post with immediate effect. This action was taken against him due to serious allegations regarding delays in the approval of a hospital building plan and the arbitrary imposition of penalties.
