Press coverage
Named in 1 article since August 2023; number 135 among bodies in the last 12 months.
0 articles from October 2025 to September 2026, against 0 in the 12 months before.
Months with an article: August 2023 (1 article of 1,258).
The total counts every outlet in the corpus. The 12-month comparison, shares and spikes use The Daily Star (business pages before 2026) and Prothom Alo English from 2018, so they measure attention within that corpus, not the whole press. Company press releases are left out throughout. A spike is a month at least three standard deviations above the body's previous 24 months. Bodies are matched by name or acronym in the headline and summary.

Facts in the body's own annual report (image read)3
Facts the body's own annual report prints, read from the page images by two blind readers: mandate = the first three items of the functions list as printed (annual_report_functions / apa_functions); legal_basis = the instrument the report cites, identified by name, number or date (annual_report_legal_instrument); dated_event = an establishment, reorganisation or renaming year as printed; actual_spending = the body's actual expenditure for a named fiscal year (annual_report_actual; budget columns never count). Each reader's text is kept (_a, _b); pages are 1-based PDF pages.

Instrument that establishes the body (act, Constitution article or Rules of Business Schedule I)1
The instrument that prints the body's name and establishes, constitutes or continues it, two readers: an act, ordinance or President's Order on bdlaws.minlaw.gov.bd; an article of the Constitution; or the body's heading in the Rules of Business 1996 Schedule I (Allocation of Business), as the Cabinet Division published it; or, for a local government body, the section of an act that names it or the S.R.O. in the Bangladesh Gazette that established it. Each reader's section or locator, relation, the name as printed and a verbatim quote from the saved source (source_url, source_sha256); citation_url is the instrument's own page. A repealed instrument says so (repealed_by).

What each source budgets for the year: a gross demand for grants, an allocation, or a state-owned enterprise's own budget (income, expenditure, net profit or deficit). The tag on each line says which. None of it is spending.

The body's own budget line1
The body's own budget position as the budget route serves it: budget_lines (Budget Speech Table-5 or Demands for Grants ministry lines), the Demands-for-Grants institutional units served as this body, the units printed under the ministry or division it stands for, and the reviewed MoF division crosswalk. Allocations are budgets, not spending.

Sum over the body's institutional codes of rows in the regular actual column (actual year = book year minus 2); stale-header rows are listed with in_sum false. Unit 12201 counts only in book 2026-27 (Home Ministry secretariat); books 2022-23 to 2025-26 print it under the Public Security Division.
