Nirapad Somaj provides ‘food gift’ to 200 families

Non-government organisation “Nirapad Somaj” has stood by 200 families with food gift at Delduar in Tangail, amid the shutdown enforced due to coronavirus outbreak.

The organisation reached the food assistance to doors of the families on April 23.

Earlier, the food assistance programme was inaugurated at its head office at Patharail of Delduar on the day.

Local union parishad chairman Hanifuzzaman Liton, former chairman Aziz Chan Kha, Nirapod Somaj president Sohrab Hossain, vice-president Amulya Ghosh, police officer S M Alamgir and Juwel Ahmed were present during inauguration of the programme.

Then, activists of Nirapad Somaj reached doors of the 200 families.

Executive Director of Nirapad Somaj Joydev Gope said the organisation is working for welfare of the neglected and backward people of the society for long days. It specially works for wellbeing of poor weavers of the area. Of them, many have been passing miserable days due to the coronavirus outbreak. At this circumstances, it is moral responsibility to stand by them. So, food assistance was reached to 200 families. The programme would be continued if needed.

He said, “We are avoiding the term ‘relief’. We as well-wishers sent gifts for them, not relief.”
