Bangladesh created special groups to watch events marking student protests from last summer. Each district will have one committee with 35 people. The Deputy Commissioner runs each group. An Additional Deputy Commissioner helps as the main assistant. Officials announced this plan on Thursday.

These committees have many different government workers as members. Police leaders join with education officials and local government staff. Health workers and agriculture experts also participate. Business leaders and lawyers become part of each group. Two families who lost members during the July protests will have representatives.

The groups will watch programs that remember the student uprising period. Activities will happen from July 1 through August 5. Committees can add more people if they need help. They can meet whenever necessary. District leaders pick some members from politics and media.

Each committee has representatives from schools and colleges. Religious education centers send people too. Women's affairs officers participate with youth development workers. Cultural affairs staff join the groups. Press club presidents represent local media.

The uprising happened when students demanded changes from the government. Many young people died during those protests. The new committees honor their sacrifice. They make sure communities remember what happened. District officials will coordinate all the memorial activities.
