The High Court has issued a rule questioning the legality of firing 18 engineers and officials from Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant Company Bangladesh Ltd (NPCBL), asking why they should not be reinstated with full service benefits. The bench also directed the NPCBL Board to promptly address the engineers’ appeal for reinstatement. The engineers claim they were appointed permanently after proper training and evaluation, including international training funded by the government, and that their dismissal was arbitrary and unjust.
