Officers from 25 cadres of the Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS) observed a one-hour work abstention today, demanding the withdrawal of certain proposed recommendations by the Public Administration Reform Commission.
The officials refrained from work from 11:00am to 12:00pm in offices across the country, following an earlier announcement, according to a press release from the Inter-Cadre Discrimination Elimination Council, which represents the 25 cadres.
The council opposed proposals that include appointing 50 percent of deputy secretaries from the administration cadre and excluding health and education services from cadre structures.
The council had announced the protest on December 21.
