The government has formed a nine-member committee to review applications from retired military officers who faced deprivation, injustice, or persecution between 2009 and August 2024 under the Awami League government. Chaired by Lt. Gen. (Retd.) Abdul Hafiz, the committee will assess applications, set submission deadlines, and provide formal recommendations within two months. The Armed Forces Division will offer secretarial support, and retired committee members will receive honorariums from the Defence Ministry. The order is effective immediately.
