A special Darbar of the director general of the Bangladesh Rifles began Wednesday morning at its Pilkhana headquarters in the capital.
BDR official sources said DG Maj Gen Mainul Islam is presiding over the programme that started shortly before 11:00am. All top-ranking BDR officers are attending the function.
This year, the programme is being held at a multipurpose shed, which is used for practicing indoor games, instead of the Darbar Hall as a special court has been set up at the hall for holding BDR mutineers trial.
The authorities have curtailed this year's BDR week to a day from seven days.
Special dinner will be served and milad and doa Mahfil held at the BDR hostels at Pilkhana.
BDR officers and personnel, who carried out their duties in 2009 exceptionally well, will also receive awards on the occasion.
The BDR mutiny on February 25-26 last year erupted during a Darbar arranged for a similar occasion. The mutineers killed 74 people including 57 army officials and the mutiny spread to other BDR units in the country.
This is the second Darbar being held there after the mutiny. The first one was held on August 17 last year.
