85 promoted to additional secretary
The government on the first day of its office today promoted 85 joint secretaries to the post of additional secretary.
“Five of those who have been made additional secretary are now on deputation. Their promotion will be affective after they join their offices,” Abdus Sobhan Sikder, senior secretary to the public administration ministry, told The Daily Star this evening.
He said the process to promote the officials began before the January 5 parliamentary election.
“The process was held up to avoid controversy,” said the secretary, adding that several hundreds of senior assistant secretaries will be given promotion to the rank of deputy secretary in weeks.
