The Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh (IEB) has urged the government to ensure the appointment and promotion of engineers to top leadership roles within technical and engineering-based organizations.
Their demands include the removal of non-technical officials from management positions in engineering agencies, the elimination of discriminatory promotion barriers, and the establishment of a dedicated "BCS Water Resources" cadre to enhance national water security and management.
The calls were made during a view exchange meeting with senior journalists held on Wednesday noon at the Council Hall of the IEB Headquarters in Ramna, Dhaka.
Leaders emphasised that excluding technical experts from top-tier decision-making hampers the country's development momentum.
The event was attended by IEB President Reazul Islam and General Secretary Prof Dr Sabbir Mostafa Khan.
