Admin cadre officials hold protest meeting

Officials of the administration cadre have described the Public Administration Reform Commission’s recommendation on promotion policy as ‘discriminatory, conspiratorial, and unreasonable’.

During a gathering of former and current officers of the administration cadre in Dhaka on Wednesday, they criticised the recommendation to allocate 50 per cent of deputy secretary-level promotions to administration cadre officers and the remaining 50 per cent to other cadres.

The Bangladesh Administrative Service Association and BCS (Administration) Kalyan Bahumukhi Samabay Samity Limited arranged the protest meeting at the Biam Foundation Auditorium in the Esktaon Area of Dhaka.

The speakers at the meeting expressed concerns over a perceived ‘deep conspiracy to destabilise the country’ behind the recommendations.
