The programme was conducted by General Secretary Md. Yusuf Mia, while Vice President Abdur Rashid presided over the event. Organising Secretary Shimul Patwary and other members were also present.
According to the organisers, the funds have been used to support medical treatment for poor and critically ill patients, including cancer patients, as well as to build houses for the needy.
