Bashundhara Group stands by Nahid, Morsalin’s families

The two families have now found a ray of hope to live on amid their utter plight thanks to the humanitarian gesture of the country’s leading business conglomerate.

Bashundhara Group Chairman Ahmed Akbar Sobhan was shocked when he came to know about the miseries of the two families through media reports. He was greatly touched specially by the affecting story of Morsalin’s daughter. She (Morsalin’s daughter) said her father is coming with new Eid dress for her.

Bashundhara Group Managing Director Sayem Sobhan Anvir handed over the donation cheques to the two families at his residence at Bashundhara Residential Area in the capital.

Eighteen-year-old Nahid worked as a delivery assistant for a company named Data Tech Computer on Elephant Road. He was hacked to death during the clash on April 19.

A resident of Daudkandi in Cumilla district, Morsalin lived in the capital’s Kamrangir Char with his family. He left behind two children aged 6 and 4.

Nahid’s father Nadim Mia, mother Nargis Begum and wife Shila and her father Md Dalim received the donation. On behalf of Morsalin’s family, his mother Nurjahan Begum and wife Mitu received the donation cheques.

“Another of my son Nur Mohammad works at Gausia market. We will try to set up a shop for him to earn livelihood for the family,” Nurjahan Begum told the Daily Sun.

East West Media Group Limited (EWMGL) Director Imdadul Haq Milan said Bashundhara Group has been continuing humanitarian programme for the people in distress across the country.

“At the directive of Bashundhara Group Chairman Ahmed Akbar Sobhan, the business conglomerate reached food support to 50 thousands of families in the country’s northern region during the corona pandemic. The Group continued support for improvement of livelihood of the poor. Bashundhara Group has recently provided financial support for meritorious medical students to help them continue their study,” he said.
