Liberation War Affairs Ministry today issued a circular re-fixing 12 years and six months as the minimum age for being recognised as a freedom fighter.
According to the circular, people who were 12 years- and six-months-old on November 30, 1971 would be deemed eligible to apply for the status, said a press release of the ministry.
Previously, in June last year, the government decided that those who were at least 13-years-old on November 30, 1971 could apply for obtaining the freedom fighter status.
