verification_status is 'verified' because all key facts are cross-checked across a minimum of two primary sources. entity_type is set to 'parliamentary_committee' per task specification, though the CCGP is technically a cabinet (executive) committee, not a parliamentary one; it has no parliamentary membership and sits under the Cabinet Division rather than the Jatiya Sangsad Secretariat. The distinction should be corrected in the schema if a 'cabinet_committee' type is added. established_year is 1972, reflecting that cabinet committees were constituted from the first Mujib-era government; the CCGP in its modern form was reconstituted most recently on 24 February 2026 by gazette notification.
