At the badge-adorning ceremony, the prime minister wished the new PSO’s success in discharging his duties and assured him of extending all sorts of cooperation to this end, said the press secretary.

The prime minister’s Security Affairs Adviser Major General (retd) Tarique Ahmed Siddique and Military Secretary Major General Naquib Ahmed Chowdhury were present on the occasion.

On behalf of Army Chief General Aziz Ahmed, Army Quarter Master General (QMG) Lieutenant General Md Shamsul Haque was also present at the function.

Earlier, the government promoted secretary to the Army Headquarters Waker-Uz-Zaman to lieutenant general from major general and appointed him as the PSO at the Armed Forces Division.

His appointment to the new post came into effect from Monday as his predecessor Lieutenant General Md Mahfzur Rahman ended his tenure.
