The public administration ministry is yet to publish the gazette notification of the 43rd BCS, even nine months after the Public Service Commission (PSC) recommended the appointment of 2,805 candidates, causing frustration among the aspirants.

The candidates are concerned over the issuance of the official notification and getting their respective joining dates.

According to ministry sources, the verification process for recommended candidates of the 43rd Bangladesh Civil Service began while the Awami League government was in power.

The issuance of the notification was at the final stage before the fall of AL government. However, a re-verification process was initiated for 255 candidates following the ouster.

The public administration ministry published a report on September 8 regarding its work between August 8 and September 7 under the interim government.

“The information obtained from intelligence reports regarding 255 candidates has been sent to the Special Branch for further verification in light of the changed circumstances. The notification will be issued as soon as the medical examination and intelligence reports are received,” said the report.

The report also said several candidates who were recommended for appointment in the 43rd BCS faced obstacles from miscreants while attending their medical examinations.
