During a virtual appearance at the ‘Walton-CRAB Sports Festival 2024 and Fruit Festival’, DMP Commissioner said this to journalists’ questions held at the CRAB premises in Segunbagicha on Friday. Social Welfare Minister Dr. Dipu Moni virtually inaugurated the event as the chief guest.
Habibur Rahman said that the Supreme Court’s Appellate Division has issued a one-month stay order on the High Court’s decision regarding the quota system in government jobs.
