387 July warriors upgraded to 'A', 474 to 'B' category
This news article from the Dhaka Tribune (published February 5, 2026) reports that Bangladesh's Ministry of Liberation War Affairs has upgraded the official injury category classifications of hundreds of "July warriors" — individuals who were injured during the movement that toppled the Awami League government on August 5, 2024. Specifically, 387 warriors were upgraded to "A" category (severely injured) and 474 warriors were promoted to "B" category (seriously injured), with the revised list gazetted on February 3, 2026. The article also outlines the government's financial benefit structure tied to these categories: "A" category recipients receive a one-time payment of 500,000 Bangladeshi Taka plus a 20,000 Taka monthly allowance; "B" category receives 300,000 Taka plus 15,000 Taka monthly; and "C" category receives 100,000 Taka plus 10,000 Taka monthly. Additionally, 128 warriors previously had their gazette recognition cancelled due to false information or duplicate entries.
