Earlier, the Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives Ministry had cancelled the contract of Taqsem A Khan, the long-serving managing director of Dhaka Wasa.
Taqsem A Khan, however, claimed that he resigned from his position, effective immediately, on Wednesday.
The development came after he had served as Dhaka Wasa's managing director since 2009, with his term being extended multiple times, including the most recent extension granted just last August for another three years.
