Dr Muhammad Yunus, the interim government's chief adviser, visited Rajbari on Sunday (January 5) to observe the winter exercise of the Bangladesh Army's Infantry Brigade Group. The exercise is organized by the 55th Infantry Division and conducted in the Char Khapura and Char Ramnagar areas of the Rajbari Military Training Area (RMTA) in Kalukhali Upazila.
Dr Yunus departed Dhaka by helicopter at 11:54 am, arriving at Char Khapura's helipad at 12:36 pm. Upon arrival at the exercise site, he was greeted by Army Chief General Waker-uz-Zaman, Navy Chief Admiral M Nazmul Hasan, Air Force Chief Air Chief Marshal Hasan Mahmud Khan, and Major General J M Imdadul Islam, GOC of the 55th Infantry Division and Area Commander of Jessore.
The exercise showcases the capabilities of the Bangladesh Army, featuring advanced tanks, APCs, artillery, infantry, engineers, commandos, and other arms and services. The Bangladesh Air Force is also participating with fighter jets, helicopters, Army Aviation aircraft, and paratroopers.
Dr Yunus is scheduled to observe the manoeuvres for about an hour, followed by a closing speech. The event is attended by other advisers, senior armed forces officials, and media representatives.
This visit was originally planned for January 2 but was rescheduled due to heavy fog and adverse weather conditions that prevented the helicopter from taking off.
