Leadership correction from user brief: Mir Mohammed Helal Uddin holds dual portfolio Land + CHT Affairs as State Minister, but the full Minister for Land is Md. Mizanur Rahman Minu (MP Rajshahi-2, BNP), sworn in Feb 17, 2026. Helal Uddin was initially assigned CHT Affairs only; he received Land as additional charge after Barrister Kayser Kamal (original State Minister for Land) was elected Deputy Speaker on March 12, 2026 and resigned from cabinet to maintain parliamentary neutrality. Mir Helal's constituency is Chattogram-5 (Hathazari), not Chittagong-5; constituency renaming is official.
