Rangamati Hill District Council (Bengali:রাঙ্গামাটি পার্বত্য জেলা পরিষদ) is the autonomous government body responsible for the governance of Rangamati Hill District.[1][2] Brisaketu Chakma is the Chairman of the Rangamati Hill District Council.[3]

History

Rangamati Hill District Council was established in 1989 along with Bandarban Hill District Council and Khagrachhari Hill District Council through direct elections.[4] Rangamati Hill District Councils can be dismissed and formed by the government and change with changes in the national government.[5] 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.[6] The council was increased to 10 members and reserved three of the seats for non-tribals in November 2014.[7] The bill created a seat in the council for every tribe in the district with the Chakma people receiving the largest at 4 seats.[8]
