Supervised and coordinated by Additional Secretary Md Sarowar Alam, the lottery-based transfer process was held on Thursday at the conference room of the PWD Bhaban.
A ministry spokesperson said the initiative had set a new benchmark for transparency, fairness and impartiality in the transfer and posting process under the ministry and its agencies.
