History
Rangamati Hill District Council was established in 1989 along with Bandarban Hill District Council and Khagrachhari Hill District Council through direct elections.[1] Rangamati Hill District Councils can be dismissed and formed by the government and change with changes in the national government.[2] According to the Chittagong Hill Tracts Peace Treaty, the government handed over administrative responsibilities of eight educational institutions to the Rangamati Hill District Council in November 2006.[3] The council was increased to 10 members and reserved three of the seats for non-tribals in November 2014.[4] The bill created a seat in the council for every tribe in the district, with the Chakma people receiving the largest at 4 seats.[5]
