Dhaka, Aug 25 (V7N): Professor Muhammad Yunus, Chief Adviser of the interim government, is scheduled to address the nation today at 7:30 PM.

The State of the Nation Address will be broadcast live across BTV, BTV World, and BTV Chittagong Center.

This address comes amid severe flooding that has affected vast areas of the country. To date, approximately 5.1 million people have been displaced, and the death toll has reached 18, with numbers expected to rise.

Dr. Yunus, who assumed his role on August 8 following Sheikh Hasina’s resignation and departure to India, has been emphasizing the urgent need for major reforms and combating corruption. Since his appointment, several high-ranking officials from the previous administration have been arrested on corruption charges.
