Students of the Madaripur Donavan Government Girls High School donated their tiffin money on Monday to the Prime Minister’s Relief and Welfare Fund for the Savar building collapse victims.
The school authorities handed over a cheque for the amount to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at her secretariat office in Dhaka in the morning, the PM’s Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad said.
The students had collected the amount by saving their tiffin money, Azad said.
Shipping Minister Shajahan Khan was present also when the cheque was handed over to the PM.
One of Bangladesh’s gravest humanitarian crisis unfolded after a multi-storey building ‘Rana Plaza’ collapsed in Savar on Apr 24.
More than 11,000 people were killed after the building with severe safety hazards collapsed with thousands of workers, who were at work inside the building’s five readymade garment factories.
The long rescue effort went on to save more than 2000 people from under the rubbles.
