NPC rejected
Dip Engineers’ plan agitation from today
Staff Reporter :
The Diploma engineers rejecting the 8th National Pay Scale have decided to start agitation programme from today across the country to put pressure on the government so that it accepts their demands, including an immediate amendment to the pay scale in order to remove disparity in salary between Diploma Engineers and
B.Sc Engineers. They said that a vested group within the government had misguided the Finance Minister in creating discrimination in the 8th National Pay Scale.
At a press conference in Dhaka Reporters Unity (DRU) on Saturday, the leaders of the Institution of Diploma Engineers Bangladesh (IDEB) disclosed to the reporters about their next course of action in view of the government’s refusal to accept their demands.
President of IDEB Engineer A K M Hamid said that the government assured the Diploma Engineers of increasing and expanding their existing facilities, but no initiative had yet been taken.
So, frustration has caught the Diploma Engineers who have no second option than starting movement, said a leader on condition of anonymity.
The diploma engineers will organize human chain programme in front of National Press Club today and across the country on 11-13 January and will submit memorandum to Prime Minister through the Deputy Commissioners of the districts.
IDEB President said, a diploma engineer on appointment as Sub-Assistant Engineer will get Tk 16,000 as salary. After 10 years in service, he will be entitled to Tk 22,000 in the ninth grade and then Tk 23,000 after 16 years in the 8th Grade.
Contrarily, a B.Sc Engineer on appointment as Assistant Engineer will get Tk 23,000 as salary. After 16 years, he will be getting Tk 50,000 in the 4th Grade. It means that a diploma engineer will get Tk 23,000 in 16 years of service whereas a B.Sc Engineer will get Tk 50,000, creating a difference of Tk 27,000 only. This is really sorrowful.
General Secretary of IDEB Md Shamsur Rahman in his written speech at the conference said, the Diploma Engineers are quite frustrated. Fifty thousand Diploma Engineers are always contributing to the development of the country. They want justice.
Meanwhile, agriculture, livestock and diploma nursing have expressed their support for the programme of diploma engineers.
