The government is going to increase allowance for freedom fighters by 60 percent to make it Tk 8,000 monthly per person. The decision was taken in a meeting of social safety net. A circular would be issued very soon in this regard. Currently, a freedom fighter gets Tk 5,000 as allowance per month. Earlier the government Decided to give Tk 10,000 a month as allowance to a freedom fighter aged above 65. The freedom fighters below the age of 65 were small in number. So, the facility for all freedom fighters should be same. The official said now it was decided that from July 1, all freedom fighters would get monthly allowance of Tk 8,000. From the next FY, they each would receive Tk 10,000 as allowance. At present, around 2 lakh freedom fighters receive allowance from the government budget. The official said if each freedom fighter was given Tk 8,000 as allowance, the allocation would cover the rising demand of money.
