Several hundred unemploed nurses blocked the road in front of The Jatiya Press Club on Sunday afternoon, protesting recruitment of 3,616 senior nurses by Bangladesh Public Service Commission (BPSC) instead of congenial seniority system.
As part of series programme, activists observed the road blockade programme, which created severe traffic conjession in front of the secretariate and its adjaent areas.
They organized the protesting programme under the banner
of Bangladesh Diploma Nurses Association and Bangladesh Basic Unemployed of Graduate Nurses Society.
After holding a rally in front of the Central Shaheed Minar at 10.00am, they gathered at National Press Club to continue programme.
Meanwhile, a 10-member delegation of unemployed nurses submitted two copies of memoranda incoparating their demands to the Prime Minister (PMO) and the Health Ministery Offices (HMO) in the afternoon.
Rina Akhter, President of Bangladesh Diploma Nurses Association said, “Nurses were appointed on the basis of seniority before the publishing of the new circular in this regard.”
Farooq Hossain, Secretary General of Bangladesh Diploma unemployed Nurses Association, said, “It means nothing but to start the big bribe trading, the authority has issued circular to appoint 3616 senior staff nurses.”
Rajeev Kumar Biswas, Chairman of the Bangladesh Basic Graduate Nurses Society said “We are protesting the new recruitment notice to appoint the nurses ignoring seniority.
Earlier on March 28, the BPSC published a circular to recruit 3,616 senior staff nurses through the examination (preliminary, written, viva voce and health) instead of congenial seniority based appointment system.
But The PSC’s circular said applicants under the age of 36 and obtaining Bachelor of Science and diploma in nursing would face an examination.
This frustrated many unemployed nursing graduates who were hoping to be recruited on the basis of seniority.
