40th BCS non-cadre seekers demand reinstatement of previous policy

DU Correspondent :
The non-cadre candidates of 40th Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS) have demanded return of the previous appointment policy of Public Service Commission (PSC) cancelling the new procedure for non-cadre appointment.
The students from different educational institutions including Dhaka University organised a human chain in front of Raju Memorial Sculpture of DU on Sunday to express their view, saying that the new police is anti-jobless and unreasonable. They also urged the government and PSC to accept the six-point demand immediately.
The demands are- cancelation of the new appointment policy for non-cadres of 40th-44th BCS, to provide all posts of 40th BCS non-cadres which have been provided to the 36th-38th BCS non-cadres, to appoint the highest number of non-cadres who have been on the waiting list, to appoint non-cadres following the appointment policies of 34th to 38th BCS (non-cadre), and more.
The candidates said that after the appointment in the cadre posts in the last few BCS, PSC recommended the appointment of the remaining candidates as non-cadre on the basis of merit until the results of the new BCS are published.
According to the new rules, it will be mentioned from now the number of non-cadre posts as well as cadre posts in the new BCS circular. However, in case of the ongoing 40th, 41st, 43rd and 44th BCS, the demand for vacant posts will be reviewed and recommended for non-cadre posts based on merit.
In the letter sent from PSC to the Ministry of Public Administration on August 23, it said whatever vacancies there are before the appointment of non-cadre posts in BCS, they cannot be completed by appointment in one BCS. Any vacant posts should be taken into consideration during the time when any BCS circular publish.
Earlier, they organized a human chain in front of the PSC on October 6 of its concern.
