As a Narayanganj resident, Apu took the initiative to provide food to 700 families in the city that has been epicenter of conronavirus in the country
National left-arm spinner Najmul Hossain Apu is the latest among the cricketers to have come forward in aid of the underprivileged in the society with the country in lockdown for coronavirus. And as it happened, Apu has been joined by Bangladesh ODI captain Tamim Iqbal in the initiative.
As a Narayanganj resident, Apu took the initiative to provide food to 700 families in the city that has been epicenter of conronavirus in the country. Of the total Covid-19 infected in Bangladesh, 18.68 percent are from Narayanganj. Till Sunday afternoon, Bangladesh reported 621 Covid-19 cases and a total of 34 deaths.
Apu took the initiative to stand besides the day to day earners in Narayanganj as they are struggling to survive in the tough time. But with insufficient fund Apu pleaded to Tamim for help and the latter, who is known to be involved in many charities in this dire straits, stretched his helping hand straightaway.
