Prime Minister Tarek Rahman held an inter-ministerial meeting at the Cabinet Division in Dhaka on Thursday to finalize the implementation plan for the government’s proposed Family Card distribution program. The meeting began around 11:30 a.m. at the Prime Minister’s Office in the Secretariat, marking his second day in office. Earlier in the morning, he met separately with the directors general of the NSI and DGFI, as well as the chiefs of the three armed forces.

According to the Prime Minister’s schedule, the Family Card meeting was part of a series of official engagements aimed at launching new national initiatives. Later in the day, at 2:00 p.m., another inter-ministerial meeting was scheduled to discuss a five-year plan to plant 2.5 billion trees and to undertake dredging and re-excavation of rivers, canals, and water bodies across the country.

The meetings reflect the new administration’s focus on social welfare and environmental restoration programs, as outlined in its early policy agenda.
