Liberation War Affairs Adviser Faruk E Azam announced that those killed during the movement will be formally designated "July Martyrs" and the injured will be called "July Warriors," with each group receiving official certificates and identity cards. The article details specific financial benefits, including Tk30 lakh for martyrs' families, a Tk20,000 monthly allowance plus Tk5 lakh one-time payment for severely injured victims, and lesser amounts for those who lost limbs.
