The Home Ministry on Tuesday issued separate notifications sending them to forced retirement. Home Ministry’s Public Security Division’s Senior Secretary Akhter Hossain signed the orders.
According to the notifications, they were sent to retirement in public interests as per the Section-45 of the Public Service Act, 2018. The decision would be effective immediate after issuance of the notification.
