A watchdog body was established by the parliamentary standing committee on the environment ministry to oversee the spending of Tk 400 crore allocated by the government to address the impacts of climate change. The five-member sub-committee, led by Md Ekabbar Hossain MP, includes Sohrab Ali Sana, Manaranjan Sheel Gopal, Md Golam Sabur, and Giasuddin Ahmed. Abdul Momin Talukder, the chairman of the standing committee, stated that Tk 300 crore will be utilized by various ministries, while the remaining funds will be distributed among non-governmental organizations in the country. Talukder also mentioned that more than 5000 NGOs have applied for climate funds under this program. Talukder explained that the sub-committee's main focus is on overseeing the spending of money by NGOs, rather than monitoring the expenses of ministerial projects. He also stated that the sub-committee will submit its initial report within two months. Furthermore, Talukder mentioned that the standing committee had asked the home ministry to coordinate a joint operation involving RAB and police to combat piracy in forested areas of the country.
