Nawabganj:Women and Children Affairs and Social Welfare Minister Prof Dr AZM Zahid Hossain emphasized that social disorder is unacceptable under any circumstances and stressed the importance of maintaining law and order during a program organized by the Department of Social Services at the Nawabganj Upazila Parishad auditorium.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Zahid Hossain, speaking as the chief guest, urged law enforcement agencies to fulfill their duties without deviation, ensuring that no troublemaker is spared. He highlighted the necessity for the law to be enforced properly against offenders, regardless of their identity.
Zahid called on individuals at all societal levels, including parents and guardians, to remain vigilant to prevent social degradation from influencing the younger generation negatively. He underscored the importance of special attention to prevent children from becoming involved in drug addiction or criminal activities due to a lack of awareness among guardians.
During the program, the minister distributed one-time financial assistance cheques to individuals with disabilities, meritorious students from impoverished families, distressed and sick men and women, and homeless people. Additionally, he provided financial assistance cheques of Tk 100,000 each to patients suffering from severe illnesses such as cancer, kidney disease, liver cirrhosis, paralysis, heart disease, thalassemia, and leukaemia.
