The government has issued the Rangpur Development Authority (RDA) (Amendment) Ordinance, 2025 inserting a provision of allowing retirement after 25 years of service. Through this amendment, the authority has been given the power to retire any employee, who has completed 25 years of service, in the public interest without giving any reason. The Legislative and Parliamentary Affairs Division under the Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs on Thursday issued a gazette notification to this end. Earlier, the president, under the powers bestowed upon him by Article 93(1) of the Constitution, issued the "Rangpur Development Authority (Amendment) Ordinance, 2026" on January 19. An employee can voluntarily retire by giving 30 days’ written notice after completing 25 years of service.
