Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Secretary General and Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives Minister Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has left Dhaka for Singapore for a routine health check-up. 


He, accompanied by his wife Rahat Ara Begum, departed Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (HSIA) by a Singapore Airlines flight at 11:55 pm on Monday, minister's Assistant Private Secretary Md.Younus Ali told BSS.  

He is expected to return home after a week.
