Dhaka, Bangladesh Global: 22 deputy commissioners (DCs) has been sent on compulsory retirement by government thanks to their roles in the controversial elections held under the previous Awami League government.
The information was confirmed by Md Mokhles Ur Rahman, senior secretary of the Public Administration ministry, on Thursday.
“The officials had served as returning officers in the general elections of 2014, 2018, and 2024 which are widely criticised as controversial, unaccepted and day’s voting at night,” he said while talking to reporters at the secretariat.
“Those who served as returning officers in these polls played a very negative role. None of them protested, resigned, or refused to take part," he added.
He said, “43 DCs have been made officers on special duty (OSD). Those with less than 25 years of service have been made OSD, while those who have served for more than 25 years were sent on compulsory retirement."
