Huawei Technologies Bangladesh has stepped forward with relief materials to support the flood-hit people of Netrokona’s Khaliajuri upazila.
A relief distribution event was arranged in the district in this connection Saturday.
Many districts of Bangladesh are going through a difficult phase as flash floods have affected people around the country, marooning thousands of people and putting their livelihood in jeopardy.
So, Huawei distributed relief items among the needy and flood-affected people in the Netrokona district Saturday.
Around 2,000 families received essential items such as rice, red lentils, potatoes, oral saline, sugar, flour and others.
Huawei Bangladesh CEO Zhang Zhengjun said: “This relief programme is our holistic approach ‘In Bangladesh, For Bangladesh – Here for you’ towards the betterment of lives in the flood-affected areas, and this includes our efforts to make people’s lives better.”
Netrokona Deputy Commissioner Kazi Md Abdur Rahman said, “I would like to thank Huawei for standing beside the flood-affected people of Khaliajuri Upazila. Apart from the government’s efforts, contributions from the organisations who have extended their help for the people living in these remote areas have given them a respite from the adversaries caused by the pandemic and the flood.”
Khaliajuri Upazila Nirbhahi Officer AHM Ariful Islam said, “For the last three years, Huawei has been distributing relief among flood-affected people of this region. This is a haor area and suffers from inundation most of the time of the year. Against such a backdrop, I think at least 15,000-16,000 people have come under the relief programme. I hope such an initiative will be extended and Huawei will select remote areas like Khaliajuri in future.”
