Four DIGs sent on retirement under Section 45
The government has sent four Deputy Inspectors General (DIGs) of police into retirement in the public interest, according to official notifications issued on Monday.
The Public Security Division of the Ministry of Home Affairs released four separate notifications concerning the retirements.
They are Atika Islam, attached to Dhaka Range office, AKM Nahidul Islam, attached to Police Telecom, Md Monir Hossain, attached to Industrial Police and Md Mahbub Alam, attached to Railway Police.
According to the notifications, the retirements have been made under Section 45 of the Government Services Act, 2018 (Act No. 57 of 2018), citing public interest.
Section 45 of the Government Service Act in Bangladesh, specifically the Public Service Act, 2018, allows the government to retire a government employee before their normal retirement date in the public interest. This action can be taken after 25 years of service, without needing to specify reasons.
The orders take immediate effect, although the officers will remain entitled to all applicable retirement benefits as per government regulations, reports UNB.
