PM sends money for treatment of fire victims 

Health and Family Welfare Minister Dr Samanta Lal Sen has said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has sent money for the treatment of Bailey Road fire victims.

The minister said this to reporters after visiting the burn victims at Sheikh Hasina National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery on Saturday.

“The Prime Minister called me in last night and said the government will bear all the expenses of these patients”, he said.

“There are eleven injured patients in the burn institute now. We will release six as they are relatively better. Five of them will stay in the hospital as they are not out of danger yet,” he said.

Dr Sen said a 17-member medical board had been formed to provide treatment to the injured.
