Faridpur UNO feeding mentally disabled living on the streets
Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) of Sadar Upazila in Faridpur has been feeding 11 mentally disabled people who live on the streets in the upazila town.
Purabi Goldar has been serving them three meals a day since April 1, reports our Faridpur correspondent.
Sabbir Hasan, a resident of the town, said, homeless mentally disabled people in Kadamtola, Baisroshi, Atroshi and Upazila Parishad areas were starving since the shutdown -- to curb coronavirus transmission -- started.
"Now our UNO gives them food every day," he said.
UNO Purabi Goldar said, "Local administration gives food items for general people. But the mentally disabled do not get it as they have no way to cook food. So, I serve them food packages three times a day."
"I will continue it till the situation is stabilised," added the UNO.
