LGRD and Cooperatives Minister Md Tazul Islam on Monday underscored the need for participation of NGOs and civil society alongside the government to tackle the challenge of coronavirus.   “NGOs are engaged in different social activities in slums of the city and I think the participation of NGOs and civil society are important to prevent the spread of coronavirus,” he said while speaking at a coordination meeting on engaging NGOs in the relief distribution held at the Wasa Bhaban in city’s Karwanbazar area.   The minister also said there is a need for professional engagement for tackling the problems low-income people are facing in the capital.
