Further details, including the venue and agenda, will be communicated by someone from the Chief Advisor's Office, they said.

However, a relevant source indicated that the agenda would likely include discussions about the formation of a reform committee. Additionally, the meeting would cover the specific activities and working procedures of the commissions. 

Sources also confirmed that each commission may consist of nine members.

Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus has announced the formation of six commissions to drive state reform initiatives in the aftermath of the recent political transition.

These commissions will focus on election management, police administration, judiciary, the Anti-Corruption Commission, public administration, and constitutional reforms.

The chief advisers appointed six distinguished citizens to head the respective commissions for these sectors.

In a televised address to the nation on 11 September, marking one month since taking office as the interim government's chief advisor, Yunus said the full commissions would be constituted within the current month and would formally commence their work on 1 October, aiming to complete the tasks within the next three months.

"Based on the commission reports, the government will hold consultations with relevant stakeholders to finalise the reform framework. This framework will also provide an understanding of how these reforms will be implemented," he said.

The heads of the reform commissions are Badiul Alam Majumder for electoral reform, Safar Raj Hossain for police administration, former justice of the Appellate Division Shah Abu Naeem Mominur Rahman for the judiciary, Iftekhar Zaman, executive director of Transparency International Bangladesh, for the Anti-Corruption Commission, Chairman of Biman Bangladesh Airlines and former caretaker government advisor Abdul Muyeed Chowdhury for public administration and Supreme Court lawyer Shahdeen Malik for constitutional reform.
