Abdur Rouf Talukder resigned from the post of governor of the Bangladesh Bank on Friday, four days after Sheikh Hasina stepped down as prime minister and fled the country in the face of a mass uprising.

The government appoints former finance secretary and chairman of state-run Sonali Bank Ltd Fazle Kabir as the new governor of Bangladesh Bank for the next four years.

A day after the Savar bank robbery, Bangladesh Bank Governor Atiur Rahman writes a letter to the inspector general of police (IGP), urging him to ensure security of all the branches of the banks across the country.
