No Iftar Parties - BCB to provide food to 6000 underprivileged families
The BCB president distributed food and grocery packs to BCB groundsmen, security people, and cleaners at the Academy ground today.
As directed by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) provided food and grocery packs to 6000 less fortunate families by opting out of their regular Iftar Parties at the month of Ramadan.
"We have already made 6000 packs, which included food and groceries. We also have already started distributing those packs to the needy people," BCB president Nazmul Hassan said here today at the Academy Ground of BCB, where he also distributed food and grocery packs to the less fortunate people.
"Our honourable Prime Minister directed our party Awami League and its other wings to distribute food to the less fortunate, rather than arranging ifter party. It's really important to help the underprivileged instead of spending huge money for lavish ifter party. From BCB, we also used to arrange ifter party every year but this year after the direction of Premier, we decided to opt out Ifter party.
