The prime minister has put swirling rumours to some rest giving Obaidul Quader communications portfolio that was Syed Abul Hossain's.
Cabinet Division sources said Abul Hossain will be running the newly-carved Railways.
They said the necessary orders were being issued Sunday night following approval from Sheikh Hasina.
Quader got the portfolio five days after he had taken oath to office on Nov 29 when prime minister Hasina expanded her cabinet a third time.
The current Awami League cabinet was formed on Jan 6, 2009 with 32 members. Six others had joined the council of ministers after 18 days and on July 31 the same year, a new minister and five state ministers had taken oath. The cabinet now has 45 members.
