Tongibari (Munshiganj) Correspondent
Some 420 families received beef for Tk 10 on Eid day in Tongibari.
Bikrampur Manab Seba Foundation, a voluntary organization of Tongibari upazila of Munshiganj, took this initiative so that helpless people of the society can eat beef on Eid day too.
On Monday (March 31), at 10 am, members of the organization sold beef for 10 taka among 420 families of the upazila at the Kamarkhara school ground. In addition, the organization has experience in various cooperative works including distributing free iftar items during Ramadan every year, conducting merit exams, and working alongside the helpless poor.
A woman named Khaleda Begum, who came to buy meat for 10 taka in this exceptional market, said, "These days, even if you give 10 taka to children, they don't want to take it, but here we get 1 kg of beef for 10 taka." May Allah bless those who made this arrangement thinking of helpless people like us. An old man named Md. Fazal said, "I thought I wouldn't be able to eat beef on Eid because of the price of beef in the market. I will be able to eat beef on Eid because of the youth of Bikrampur Manab Seba Foundation. They are giving 1 kg of beef for 10 taka. We are very happy with their initiative."
Abu Bakar Siddique Hira, President, Bikrampur Manab Seba Foundation, said, "For the 4th time, we are selling beef for 10 taka. This year, we are selling beef for 10 taka among 420 people in the upazila. The purpose of selling it for 10 taka is so that the helpless people of the society feel that they can buy and eat beef on Eid. We have taken such an initiative from that thought."
