Physically challenged man gifted computer accessories in Savar

Extending a helping hand to a physically challenged man battling congenital spine disease, the Savar upazila unit of Bashundhara Shuvosangho presented a UPS and essential computer accessories to Md Dulal Khan on Tuesday to facilitate his sole source of livelihood.

The assistance was handed over on the premises of Madrasah of the Holy Quran at Bank Colony in Savar.

Md Habibur Rahman, president of the Shuvosangho Savar unit and principal of Savar Shishu Academy School, presided over the programme, conducted by General Secretary Md Shafiqul Islam Pintu.

Obaydur Rahman Ovi, chief adviser to the Savar unit of Shuvoasngho and president of Savar Traders’ Welfare Association, attended as the chief guest and handed over the items to Dulal Khan. Principal of the madrasah Shahadat Hossain was present as a special guest.

Dulal Khan, residing in the WAPDA Road area with his wife and son—an undergraduate student at Dhamrai Government College—has been unable to walk normally due to congenital spinal complications.

Undeterred by physical limitations, he works as the sole breadwinner, running a home-based computer composing venture to maintain his family.

Facing operational difficulties during power cuts, Dulal recently appealed to Shuvosangho for a UPS and auxiliary computer equipment. Considering his resilience, the organisation promptly arranged the materials.
