45th BCS written exams postponed

The authorities have postponed the 45th written exams of the Bangladesh Civil Service due to consecutive transport blockades enforced by the BNP and its allies, reports bdnews24.com.
The exams were supposed to begin on Nov 27.
In a statement on Friday, the Public Service Commission cited "unavoidable reasons" for the suspension. The PSC said the revised schedule would be published on its website later.
The candidates have been demanding that the exams be pushed back with the opposition parties enforcing hartals and blockades.
But the PSC was determined to go ahead with the tests on schedule.
The exams were supposed to be held simultaneously in Dhaka, Rajshahi, Chattogram, Khulna, Barishal, Sylhet, Rangpur and Mymensingh centres.
The PSC released the results of the preliminary test in June, with 12,789 of 268,119 examinees clearing the hurdle across all eight divisions.
