Water filter donated in Naogaon

As part of its social initiative under the slogan “Standing beside everyone in good causes,” Bashundhara Shuvosangho has donated a 40-litre water filter to the Zahir Raihan Film Society in Naogaon.

The water filter was formally handed over on Thursday evening (2 April) at the Film Society office.

Among those present at the event were Advocate Sardar Salauddin Mintu, president of the Naogaon district unit of Bashundhara Shuvosangho; Adviser Zahid Rabbani Rashid; Vice Presidents Rabeya Khatun Beli and Azad Hossain Murad; Joint General Secretary Dewan Jesmin Chandramoyee Swapna; Women’s Affairs Secretary Shahina Akhter Irin; Adviser of Zahir Raihan Film Society Hasmat Ali; Vice Presidents Mostafizur Rahman and Subal Chandra Mondal; General Secretary Rahman Raihan; Joint General Secretary Faruk Chowdhury; executive members Arif Uddin Ahmed, Hafizur Rahman Nahid, Shahanta Chowdhury, and Ataur Rahman Babul, among others.

Members of the executive committee of the film society, including Tofazzal Hossain Topu, Noor Nahar Sushma Sathi, Abul Khair, and Moklesur Rahman, were also present. Shafiqul Rahman, general secretary of the Naogaon Recitation Council, also attended the programme.

Speaking on the occasion, Rahman Raihan said that cultural activists, especially those working in district towns, are often neglected.

“Nowadays, very few people think about artists. Those who practice culture outside major cities often remain deprived. The water filter presented today by Bashundhara Shuvosangho to our beloved organisation will remain a memorable gift. We thank the Bashundhara family and everyone involved with Shuvosangho,” he said.

He also expressed hope that Bashundhara Shuvosangho would continue to expand its social service activities and stand beside people in the future.
