Netrokona Deputy Commissioner Kazi Md Abdur Rahman said, "I would like to thank Huawei for standing beside the flood-affected people of Khaliajuri Upazila. Apart from the government's efforts, contributions from the organisations who have extended their help for the people living in these remote areas have given them a respite from the adversaries caused by the pandemic and the flood."
Khaliajuri Upazila Nirbhahi Officer AHM Ariful Islam said, "For the last three years, Huawei has been distributing relief among flood-affected people of this region. This is a haor area and suffers from inundation most of the time of the year. Against such a backdrop, I think at least 15,000-16,000 people have come under the relief programme. I hope such an initiative will be extended and Huawei will select remote areas like Khaliajuri in future."
