Deputy Commissioner Abu Nayeem Mohammed Maruf Khan received the 100 cylinders, weighing 10kg each, from Bashundhara Group at his conference room on Saturday.

Bashundhara Group Executive Director (Land) Nazmul Alam Bhuiyan, East West Property Development Pvt Ltd Executive Director (Estate) and Chief Coordinator (Sales and Development) Mahbubur Rahman Tuhin and General Manager and town planner of the Group Mohammad Mamunur Rashid handed over the cylinders in a simple ceremony.

Speaking on the occasion, Mahbubur Rahman Tuhin said, “Bashundhara Group has been assisting the government in tackling Covid-19 and mitigating its impacts from the very beginning.  Earlier, the largest business conglomerate established a 2,000-bed corona hospital at International Convention City Bashundhara.  The Group is distributing relief items among poor people in the country. The relief programme will continue. Now, Bashundhara Group has adopted another scheme of distributing oxygen cylinders for treatment of corona patients.”
