Anvir Bashundhara Group (ABG) Foundation extends aid to Padma-Jamuna erosion victims

The Anvir Bashundhara Group (ABG) Foundation has extended humanitarian assistance to poor and vulnerable families who lost their homes and livelihoods to river erosion caused by the Padma and Jamuna rivers.

More than 200 erosion-hit families received food assistance at Kalyanpur in Bachamara Union of Daulatpur upazila on Friday afternoon.

The relief was distributed by Shaila Kabir, wife of Manikganj-1 MP SA Jinnah Kabir, as the chief guest.

The programme was presided over by Md Yunus Ali. District Jubo Dal Convener Kazi Mostak Ahmed Dipu attended the event as the special guest.

Among others present were former Daulatpur upazila BNP president Md Sirajul Islam, vice-president Md Abdul Matin Master, Bachamara Union BNP general secretary Md Shafiqul Islam and former Daulatpur upazila BNP general secretary Muhammad Anisur Rahman.

Speaking at the programme, Shaila Kabir said river erosion continues to threaten the lives and livelihoods of people in the area, leaving many families homeless and without means of survival.

"We are proud to stand beside these marginalised and distressed people who have lost everything to river erosion. The ABG Foundation has been carrying out such humanitarian initiatives regularly to ease their suffering and support them during difficult times. Our efforts to improve the living conditions of affected families will continue in the future as part of our social and humanitarian commitment," she said.
