Cricketer Rubel Hossain on Thursday distributed blankets among the cold-hit poor people of Bagerhat town.
Rubel said he stepped forward as many poor people are left at the mercy of cold weather during the winter.
“I wanted to help them survive the harshness of nature as poor people are the ones who suffer much during winter. Also, a small contribution from the wealthy people would help more of them,” he said.
Also, the cricket star plans to distribute blankets among 1,200 people.
Winter has already arrived, and the advancing cold is already affecting the poor and disadvantaged.
Recently a weeklong cold wave swept the country – especially the northern part.
