The government has reduced the tenure for bicycle distribution to members of the Village Police, allowing Village Police Chiefs and officers serving across Union Parishads to receive a new bicycle every three years instead of five.

The Local Government Division issued a formal circular in this regard on Monday (November 9).

According to the circular, Prime Minister Tarique Rahman announced the revised eligibility period for bicycle distribution during the Village Police National Convention held on November 7, acknowledging the vital contribution of Village Police personnel in maintaining rural law and order and supporting local government infrastructure.

To implement the Prime Minister's directive, the Local Government Division amended and re-determined the relevant clause of its previously issued circular dated 2 February 2026 regarding equipment allocations.

Under the updated decision, Village Police Chiefs and general members will receive a bicycle every three years, replacing the prior five-year interval.

The circular clarified that all other terms, conditions, and equipment entitlements set out in the 2 February circular remain unchanged.
