40th BCS non-cadre candidates form human chain in front of PSC

Hundreds of non-cadre candidates of the 40th BCS on Monday formed a human chain in front of the head office of the Public Service Commission (PSC) in the city to demand that authorities reinstate previous appointment policies of the commission and repeal new procedures of the non-cadre appointment.

They demanded that the commission repeal the new appointment policy for the non-cadres of the 40th-44th BCS, provide all posts of the 40th BCS non-cadres which have been given to the 36th-38th BCS non-cadres.

Organisers say up to 800 candidates joined the protest on Monday.

On 16 October, the non-cadre candidates formed a human chain at Raju sculpture of Dhaka University and gave an ultimatum to the PSC.
