The Bangladesh Administrative Service Association (BASA) has opposed the recent high court ruling that allocated a 25% quota for other cadres in the promotion to deputy secretary positions. Previously, there was no fixed quota for such promotions. BASA insists that administrative cadre officers naturally deserve these positions and calls for maintaining the existing structure, which currently allocates 75% to the administrative cadre and 25% to others. Meanwhile, the Public Administration Reform Commission has proposed a 50-50 division between administrative and other cadres, sparking further debate.
