Bangladesh has officially declared February 25 as Military Martyrdom Day to commemorate the tragic events of the Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) mutiny in 2009. This mutiny also referred to as the Pilkhana tragedy or Pilkhana massacre, occurred on February 25-26, 2009, in Dhaka, where many lives were lost. The day serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during the mutiny, and it has been designated as a Category C day, meaning it will be observed with official ceremonies and remembrance. The declaration reflects the country's commitment to honouring the memory of those who were martyred.
