Government Officials are Public Servants, Citizens are the True Owners: State Minister Mir Helal

To aid in post-flood rehabilitation the ZRF distributed corrugated tin cash assistance cattle fodder vitamin premixes and essential medicines to affected farmers and residents in Banshkhali.

The event was attended by ZRF CEO Dr. Farhad Halim Doner National University Pro-VC Dr. Md. Lutfur Rahman Banshkhali Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) Md. Ruhul Amin, Assistant Superintendent of Police Mahmudul Hasan and local BNP leaders including Chittagong South District BNP Member Secretary Lion Helal Uddin.
