Appoint factory inspectors from BCS finalists: PM

The prime minister has instructed that the factory inspectors be appointed from the BCS exam finalists who could not make it to the cadre service.
Sheikh Hasina issued the instruction at a cabinet meeting Monday while discussing the progress of the implementation of the 16 conditions set by the USA to reinstate its GSP facilities.
These conditions also include the appointment of an additional 200 factory inspectors and increase the number of inspections.
Commerce Minister Tofail Ahmed said these 200 inspectors would be appointed through prime minister’s administrative order after discussing the issue with the Public Service Commission.
Hasina told the cabinet there would be no problems in filling the positions with BCS finalists since the factory inspector is a class I position.
Since the 31st BCS exams, finalists who were left out because of shortage of open positions in the cadre service were appointed as class I non-cadres, according to a news agency.
