In a significant move, the government has allocated 150 crore taka for the treatment of those injured during the July uprising. This allocation comes from the budget of the fiscal year 2024-2025, as revealed in a letter from the Ministry of Liberation War Affairs.
Breakdown of Allocated Funds
Under the unexpected expenditure management account of the Ministry of Finance, the budget for ‘Assistance for the families of martyrs and treatment of the injured in the July uprising’ has been increased from 232 crore 60 lakh taka to 150 crore taka. The funds will be distributed based on the severity of injuries, with category ‘A’ individuals receiving 2 lakh taka each, totaling 20 crore taka.
Category ‘B’ will receive 1 lakh taka per person, with 30 crore taka allocated for 3,000 individuals. For category ‘C’, 40 crore taka will be distributed among 4,000 people at 1 lakh taka per person. Category ‘D’ individuals will receive 50 thousand taka each, with a total of 35 crore taka for 7,000 beneficiaries.

Transparent Financial Management
The allocated 150 crore taka will be disbursed by the Ministry of Liberation War Affairs using proper financial procedures. The funds will be transferred through Sonali Bank PLC, Ramna Corporate Branch, following all financial regulations. It is essential to ensure that all financial rules and discipline are strictly adhered to in the disbursement of funds for the treatment of the injured in the July uprising.
Ensuring Accountability and Policy Implementation
To maintain integrity and transparency in the allocation of funds, the Ministry of Liberation War Affairs emphasizes the importance of purchasing monthly profit-based savings certificates worth 10 lakh taka for the families of martyrs. This process must be carried out within the stipulated time frame and in compliance with all financial regulations and discipline. Issuing a clear policy guideline on the utilization of the allocated funds for the treatment of the injured in the July uprising is crucial to ensure accountability and proper implementation.
As we reflect on the government’s commitment to supporting those affected by the July uprising, it is imperative to recognize the importance of efficient financial management and policy implementation in such critical initiatives. The allocated funds not only provide essential medical support but also signify the government’s dedication to serving its citizens in times of need. Let us continue to uphold transparency, accountability, and compassion in all efforts towards aiding those impacted by the events of the July uprising.
