Awami League’s relief and social welfare sub-committee on Saturday donated an ambulance to Gaussia committee for transportation of Covid patients and dead bodies in Chattagram.
The AL committee also distributed corona safety materials among the people at a function held at Bangabandhu Avenue.
Speaking virtually at the programme Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader thanked the sub-committee for taking up this humanitarian initiative.
“Let us all work together under the leadership of humane and visionary leader Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to protect the people from the corona epidemic,” he urged the party members.
He said Bangabandhu’s departed soul will get peace if they stand by the helpless and toiling people across the country at the call of Awami League President Sheikh Hasina in this mourning month of August.
Quader, also minister for road transport and bridges, called for taking necessary steps to prevent an outbreak of dengue as the mosquito-borne virus has become a problem compounding the Covid crisis.
Awami League Presidium Member Jahangir Kabir Nanak presided over the function while Awami League Organizing Secretary Advocate Afzal Hossain, Relief and Social welfare Secretary Sujit Roy Nandi, Central Executive Members Reazul Kabir Kauchar and Syed Abdul Awal Shamim and Dhaka Metropolitan South leader also spoke.
Gaussia Committee leaders including Chittagong South District Awami League General Secretary Mofizur Rahman were virtually present on the occasion.
Besides distributing corona protection materials the leaders also handed leaflets to the public for raising awareness about the pandemic.
