Dhaka, Sep 29 (V7N) – Former Industries Minister Nurul Majid Mahmud Humayun has passed away. He died while undergoing treatment at Dhaka Medical College Hospital at 8:20 am on Monday (Sept 29).

Humayun, who first took charge of the Industries Ministry in 2019, was reappointed to the same post in 2024.
