A free medical camp has been held in Ishwardi, Pabna to provide medical services to at least 5,000 patients. The camp was held on Friday (October 24) at the grounds of Ishwardi Alhaj High School, under the initiative of Professor Abu Taleb Mandal Supporters Forum.

Additional Deputy Commissioner Jahangir Alam, Deputy Civil Surgeon Dr. Mohammad Khairul Kabir, Additional Superintendent of Police Pranab Kumar, former Chairman of Atgharia Upazila Maulana Zahurul Islam and others spoke at the inaugural ceremony of the camp, chaired by Professor Abu Taleb Mandal, Ameer of Pabna District Jamaat-e-Islami.
