Despite the fall of the Awami League government following the July uprising, the Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB) remains under the influence of the pro-Awami League Bangabandhu Engineers Council and Bangabandhu Parishad. According to a report by *Amar Desh*, key positions are still held by associates of former Water Resources Secretary Kabir Bin Anwar, who allegedly continues to influence transfers and postings within the agency. A document sent to the ministry lists 40 officials accused of being linked to the former ruling party, its student wing, or other affiliated groups.
Anti-fascist officials within BWDB allege that a powerful syndicate led by the current Director General Enayet Ullah continues to protect these networks. Some officials have reportedly been sidelined or transferred for opposing the previous regime. The report also mentions allegations of corruption, misuse of power, and connections with foreign entities against several senior engineers, though some of the accused have denied the claims.
BWDB’s collective bargaining agent (CBA) leaders acknowledged that some Awami-linked officials remain but said the government is gradually taking action to remove them.
