Former students of the Department of
Statistics of University of Dhaka from the 88 batch distributed
sacrificial meat among poor families in Kalir Alga Char under Jatrapur
Union of Kurigram Sadar Upazila on Friday.
The humanitarian programme was organised in the remote char area
separated by the Brahmaputra River, where more than 100
underprivileged families received sacrificial beef.
Professor Shafiqul Islam Bebu, a former student of the university’s
Statistics Department and Senior Joint Convener of Bangladesh
Nationalist Party’s Kurigram district unit, led the distribution programme.
Jatrapur Union Panel Chairman Rahimuddin Haider Ripon, UP member
Hossain Ali and local dignitaries were present during the programme.
The organisers said the initiative was taken to share the joy of
Eid-ul-Azha with poor and helpless people living in the char area.
They also expressed hope that such humanitarian activities would
continue in future to support people living in remote and isolated riverine areas.
Local residents appreciated the initiative, saying the assistance had
made the joy of Eid more meaningful for the people of the char.
