Kanaighat Association UK gets new committee

Kanaighat Association UK, a platform representing UK residents from Kanaighat upazila in Sylhet, has elected a new executive committee, with Anisul Haque as president, AKM Jalal Uddin Bablu as general secretary and Faruk Ahmed Chowdhury as treasurer.

The election was held following the association’s biennial general meeting at Ford Square Mosque Hall in London on Sunday.

Hafez Mahfuzur Rahman, a UK-based member of the Kanaighat community, confirmed the matter.

Under the organisation’s constitution, the newly elected president, general secretary and treasurer will announce the full committee and other office-bearers soon.

Kanaighat Association UK is a registered charity in the United Kingdom and has long been engaged in social and humanitarian activities for expatriate Bangladeshis from Kanaighat.

The association also works to strengthen mutual understanding and solidarity among people from Kanaighat living in the UK, while undertaking various initiatives to contribute to the development and welfare of the upazila.

Members of the Kanaighat community in the UK congratulated the newly elected leaders and expressed hope that the new committee would take forward the association’s activities through effective leadership and greater community engagement.
