RANGPUR, April 9, 2020 (BSS) – Superintendent of Police (SP) of Rangpur
Biplob Kumar Sarkar has set up a humanitarian example by providing foodstuffs
to family members of an expatriate Bangladeshi in village Anontaram
Sarkertari of Pirgachha upazila in the district.
After getting a phone call from Nazmun Nahar Nazu, who has been working
in Kuwait for the last three months, the SP came forward on Wednesday to
extend humanitarian assistance to her family members as they were in need of
foodstuffs.
Nazmun Nahar of village Anontaram Sarkertari in her phone call from
Kuwait informed the SP that she could not send money to her family members as
she is remaining jobless now in that middle eastern country due to
coronavirus (COVID-19) situation.
She informed the SP that she does not allow her family members to go out
of home from her consciousness of the requirement of remaining at home and
maintain social distancing for their own safety and safety of others from
COVID-19 infection.
“As a result of not getting money from Nazmun Nahar and remaining at home
amid COVID-19 situation, her family members have gone out of food,” the SP
said quoting Nazmun Nahar who also requested the SP to send some food to her
family members.
The SP instantly directed Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Pirgachha Thana
Rezaul Karim to purchase and reach necessary foodstuffs and reach those to
the four family members of Nazmun Nahar at her village.
“After purchasing rice, pulse, potato, edible oil, onion, ginger, chili,
garlic, vegetables and other essentials on behalf of the SP, I went to the
village and handed over those to four family members of Nazmun Nahar at 11 pm
last night,” the OC said.
After getting the food staff, a daughter and son of Nazmun Nahar and her
elder mother and son-in-law expressed deep gratitude to the SP for standing
beside them through extending humanitarian assistance at the time of their
need.
“We reached the food items as per the list of Nazmun Nahar to her family
members. We will give them more food if required in the future,” the SP said,
adding that Rangpur district police will continue to stand beside the people
in need all the time.
