Four female army officers have been promoted from Major to Lieutenant Colonels, according to the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) Directorate.
Army chief General Aziz Ahmed gave them their rank badges on Thursday (Jan 24).
The four new Lt Cols are Armoured Corps officers, Sanjida Hossain Syeda Nazia Raihan and Farhana Afreen, and Sarah Amir of the Engineering Corps.
As a part of the prime minister’s commitment to women empowerment, women officers are being appointed regularly in the long courses of Bangladesh Army since 2000.
These women officers who started from the 47th long course have already been successful in showing their professional skills in their workplace.
