DHAKA, Jan 7, 2025 (BSS) – Chief Adviser’s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam today said five reform commissions out of six are likely to submit their reports to Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus within January 15. 

“The interim government hopes that the five commissions out of six would be able to submit their reports within January 15,” he told a press briefing.

The press briefing was held at the Foreign Service Academy here this evening.

Alam said six reform commissions were supposed to submit their reports within December 31 in 2024 but the commissions sought time extension as they did not complete their tasks within the stipulated timeframe.

Replying to a question, he said reform is an ongoing process while the state reform was the main expectation of the July revolution.
