Demo at Shahbagh for raising age ceiling of govt job
Job seekers today demonstrated at Dhaka’s key point Shahbagh demanding a raise in the age ceiling of enrolment into government service.
With token coffins, symbolising that otherwise they would be pushed towards death, they held a rally there, demanding the ceiling to be raised to 35 from what it is 30 now.
“In our education system, it takes a student to graduate at the age of 27-28. A space of two or three years is not enough to get a government job,” said MA Ali, general secretary of Bangladesh Shadharan Chhatra Parishad.
Later, activists of the platform led by its president Imtiaz Hossain, brought out a coffin march and paraded from Shahbagh to TSC intersection of Dhaka University.
