Md. Nurul Akter Milad, Budget and Accounts Officer of the Department of Fisheries, passed away early Wednesday morning following a cardiac arrest at a private hospital in the capital.

He was 57. His sudden death has drawn widespread grief across the Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock, with top government leadership describing his passing as an irreparable loss to public administration.

The veteran public servant suffered a fatal cardiac arrest and breathed his last at United Hospital in Dhaka at approximately 4:00am.

In a joint condolence message released on Wednesday, Fisheries, Livestock and Agriculture Minister Mohammed Amin Ur Rashid, State Minister for Fisheries and Livestock Sultan Salauddin Tuku, and Ministry Secretary Md. Delwar Hossain expressed profound grief and sorrow at the unexpected demise of the senior officer.

Paying tribute to his service, the leadership noted that the Department of Fisheries had lost an exceptionally devoted and conscientious professional whose commitment to public financial management left a lasting impact.

“The Department of Fisheries has lost a devoted officer at the death of Md Nurul Akter Milad,” the ministers and secretary stated in their message, offering prayers for the eternal peace of his soul in Jannatul Ferdous and extending their sympathy to the bereaved family.

Hailing from Sandwip upazila in Chattogram district, Milad had built a long career in government administrative finance. He is survived by his son, daughter, and a wide circle of relatives, colleagues, and well-wisher.

Milad served as the Budget and Accounts Officer for the Department of Fisheries, overseeing critical fiscal planning and budgetary operations within the department. His colleagues remembered him on Wednesday as a steadfast administrator who consistently demonstrated high integrity and diligence throughout his tenure.
