The Ministry of Commerce has dissolved the executive committee of the Bagerhat Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) and appointed Bagerhat Additional Deputy Commissioner (General) Mejbah Uddin as the administrator. The decision followed allegations of irregularities in the 2026-2028 elections, which were held on May 17, with the new committee taking oath on July 9. The move aims to resolve ongoing unrest and dissatisfaction within the BCCI. Administrator Mejbah Uddin has been tasked with conducting a fair and impartial election within the next 120 days and handing over responsibility to the elected committee.

The dissolution was ordered by Ayesha Akhter, Director General (Project) of the Ministry’s Trade Organizations Division, under Section 17 of the Trade Organizations Act, 2022. The commerce ministry stated that the elections were not conducted in accordance with the law and rules, necessitating the dissolution to operate the BCCI in compliance with the Trade Organizations Act, 2022, Trade Rules 2025, and the organization's Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association.

This decision underscores the government's commitment to ensuring transparency and adherence to legal frameworks within trade organizations. The appointment of an administrator is intended to restore confidence and stability within the BCCI, allowing it to function effectively in support of local businesses and the broader economy.
