DHAKA: The government is thinking of promoting some additional and joint secretaries to superior positions to fill up the gap at the top of the civil administration, according to sources.

The sources said policymakers of the government are collecting necessary information about the bureaucrats on the promotion row from the establishment ministry.
The cabinet division will make a list of bureaucrats deserving promotion considering their annual confidential report (ACR), SSB position and overseas training, etc, and then the government will finalise it
The sources said additional and joint secretaries on the promotion row are from the 1982 and 1983 batches of the Bangladesh Civil Service.
The said most of the officials were deprived of fair promotion during the tenure of BNP-led alliance government on political considerations.
The AL government has so far promoted 72 joint secretaries to the rank of additional secretary and 10 additional secretaries to the position of secretary.
