The minister also stressed, “If additional posts are not created, officers will not be promoted till 2030. Our aim is to promote them in line with the administration cadre.”
In preparation for the 12th national election, the government is implementing various changes, including promotions in both the administration and police sectors. Recently, 221 deputy secretaries and equivalent rank officers in the administration cadre were promoted as joint secretaries. Additionally, several police officers were promoted in July. Currently the promotion process is going on.
Furthermore, in July of the same year, changes were initiated by appointing new Divisional Commissioners and Deputy Commissioners with transfers in a total of 30 districts. Additionally, on July 15 and 16, the government implemented significant changes within the police force.
When asked, former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Nurul Huda told Prothom Alo, “Problems may arise if the number of promotions exceeds the available posts. However, when a section of the same rank is not promoted, such promotions are given outside the sanctioned posts to boost their morale. This is a temporary measure. Currently, with additional promotions being given to officers in the administration cadre, similar demands are being raised within the police force.
