The speakers said that some misguided students of various engineering and technology universities of the country are trying to destabilize the engineering sector by raising baseless, unrealistic and unreasonable three-point demands against diploma engineers under the banner of 'Engineer Rights Movement' on an issue resolved by the existing law of the country. Untrue and baseless information regarding the appointment and promotion of the Public Works Department is being circulated in various media.
Which all the member engineers of the Bangladesh PWD Diploma Engineers Association, Chittagong District Branch have strongly condemned and rejected.
