Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in a note of warning yesterday said stern action would be taken against doctors and teachers if they were not found at their workplaces.
“Those who are found absent from their workplaces will be fired,” the premier told the Jatiya Sangsad yesterday while replying to a supplementary question of Awami League lawmaker Nazrul Islam Chowdhury in the question-answer session.
Lawmaker Nazrul Islam urged the premier to appoint doctors and teachers in the vacant posts in community clinics and schools and make sure that they stay in the workplaces.
Hasina said: “Many of us have tendency to stay in the capital city instead of our working stations. Why do they need a job if they do not stay at their workplaces?”
Replying to a supplementary question of Shafiqul Islam Shimul, Hasina said the government was not thinking about increasing the age limit for government job.
Replying to a written question of Jatiya Party lawmaker Selim Uddin, the premier said the new pay scale for government employees would be declared in the next fiscal year.
Mentioning that a pay and service commission would be formed, Hasina said the recommendations of the commission might be submitted within next six months.
Replying to JaPa lawmaker Mohammad Ellias, she said the government took initiative to build an international standard stadium in Cox’s Bazar saying “the procedures of site selection is going on.”
