A fake letter has reportedly surfaced at several ministries asking a halt on the recruitment into open public service positions at those ministries.

The letter appears to have been written on the pad of Bangladesh Public Service Commission (PSC), reports Bangla Daily Prothom Alo.

It asked a halt on the recruitment at those ministries and directorates until December 3 citing the announcement of election schedule.

PSC Chairman Dr Muhammed Sadique reportedly said the letter is a fake and that “no such decision was taken from the commission” in this regard.

The commission came to know about the letter this morning.
