Court confirms BDF de-linking

BDF, which had embarked on a de-linking exercise involving linking salaries of BDF staff to their qualifications to improve and adjust salary scale of officers, found itself before the court of law fighting with some of its officers for the mistake made during the de-linking exercise.

Reportedly, 18 officers who held certificates not recognised under the de-linking exercise were included and benefited for a while from the dispensation when they were not supposed to. Upon realising its mistake, the BDF stopped the de-linking exercise and informed the officers about the stoppage of the benefits.
