Kurigram: Former students of the Department of Statistics from the University of Dhaka’s 88 batch have successfully organized a sacrificial meat distribution event for impoverished families residing in Kalir Alga Char under Jatrapur Union of Kurigram Sadar Upazila.
According to United News of Bangladesh, the humanitarian effort took place in a remote char area separated by the Brahmaputra River. More than 100 underprivileged families benefited from the distribution of sacrificial beef. The initiative was spearheaded by Professor Shafiqul Islam Bebu, an alumnus of the university’s Statistics Department and Senior Joint Convener of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party’s Kurigram district unit.
The event was attended by Jatrapur Union Panel Chairman Rahimuddin Haider Ripon, UP member Hossain Ali, and local dignitaries. The organisers stated that the event aimed to spread the joy of Eid-ul-Azha among the poor and helpless populations living in the char area. They expressed optimism that similar activities would continue in the future to support those in remote and isolated riverine regions.
Local residents expressed their gratitude for the initiative, noting that the assistance added more meaning to their Eid celebrations.
