BANGLADESH NEWS

Police personnel are dismayed at the delay in the upgrading of the rank of police inspector from second class to first class and that of sub-inspector to second class.

The leaders of Bangladesh Police Association, an association of police personnel from Inspectors to Constables, believe Finance Minister Abul Maal Abdul Muhith is behind the decision not being implemented.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had announced the elevation earlier in the year.

Claiming the promotion file is 'lying on the Finance Minister's table', the President of the association Officer-in-charge of Shahbagh Police Station Sirajul Islam told bdnews24.com, "Our question is why the promotion file is still on his table although the Prime Minister had twice ordered the upgrade of the class."

He said they were trying to meet the Finance Minister over the issue and informed the Additional Inspector General (AIG) of Police Shahidul Haque about their dissatisfaction after meeting him on Wednesday.

"I have suggested that they carry out their duties without getting frustrated as Police are a well-disciplined force," Haque told .

A policeman , seeking anonymity, said the leaders of the associations also expressed their at the Finance minister recent comment that the police force is at the top corruption.

'Every police member from the police station's OC to Constable takes bribe," Muhith had said.
