NCC Mayor Ivy, 36 councillors sworn in

 Founder Mayor of Narayanganj City Corporation Dr Selina Hayat Ivy was sworn in on Sunday morning at a high-profile ceremony at the Prime Mini-ster?s Office, completing her investiture following a memorable election win.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina administered the oath at her office to the mayor of the port city who clinched a landslide victory in a much-orchestrated election.

Earlier, LGRD and Cooperatives Minister Syed Ashraful Islam administered oath of office to the 36 NCC councillors at the same venue.
