Tragic end to a noble initiative
Man killed in road crash after distributing food to poor
Noor Jamal Ghazi began his day yesterday visiting poor families in Manirampur upazila of Jashore. He had stepped out of his house from a sense of duty even during the shutdown, distributing food to those suffering during the coronavirus crisis.
His noble initiative, however, ended in tragedy. On his way back home on a motorbike, Jamal was killed in a road accident at Bagerhat Bazar area. He owned a private clinic named "Bandhan" in jail road.
Md Moniruzzaman, officer-in-charge of Kotwali Police Station, said a truck coming from the opposite side hit him.
His body was kept at Jessore Medical College morgue for autopsy, he added.
