Road accident victim gets donation to continue treatment

Bashundhara Shuvosangho has handed over financial assistance to a youth, who was seriously injured in a road accident while on duty, at his residence in Sardarpara area in Bhangura municipal town of Pabna.

With the overall assistance of Shuvosangho’s Bhangura upazila branch adviser Dr Zahid Hasan, Shuvosangho members handed over Tk10,000 to Hafizur’s father, Nurul Islam, on Tuesday to allow the family to continue his medical treatment.

Shuvosangho Bhangura upazila branch President Ariful Islam, General Secretary Shakib Khan, Vice-President Abdul Malek and several other members were present on the occasion.

According to sources, Hafizur works as a sales representative for a cigarette company. On 13 June, he was travelling to Pabna town on a company motorcycle for work when he was seriously injured in a road accident at Debottor Bazar in Atgharia upazila on the Baghabari-Tebunia road. The accident left him with multiple fractures in his arms, legs and other parts of the body.

Local residents rescued Hafizur and took him to Pabna General Hospital, from where he was referred to the Pangu Hospital in Dhaka.

However, lacking the financial means to continue treatment there, he returned home in a critical condition. His family has since been seeking assistance from various sources to continue his treatment. At this difficult time, Bashundhara Shuvosangho has stepped forward to support him.

Hafizur’s father, Nurul Islam, said, “My son is bedridden. We are struggling to afford his treatment and living with constant anxiety. This support will be of great help to us. We are grateful to these generous and compassionate people.”

Shuvosangho’s Ariful Islam said, “We work on the principle that humanity exists to serve humanity. The members of the Bhangura Upazila branch of Shuvosangho have been carrying out various humanitarian activities based on this belief. All these efforts receive overall support from our chief adviser, engineer Dr Zahid Hasan. His encouragement and assistance inspire us in all our work.”
