Millions of poor and destitute people are suffering through the winter in Bangladesh. Continuing with its yearly tradition, Dutch-Bangla Bank has presented 100,000 blankets worth Tk. 6 crore 40 lakh to the Prime Minister to address the misery of the poor and floating people, who are the worst sufferers in the chilling cold now sweeping through many districts of the country.

Mr. M Sahabuddin Ahmed, Chairman, Dutch-Bangla Bank Foundation handed over the sample of the blanket to The Honorable Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on December 10, 2014 at her official Gonobhaban residence, Dhaka.

Among others, Mr. K. S. Tabrez, Managing Director and Mr. Abul Kashem Md. Shirin, Deputy Managing Director of the Bank were also present on the occasion.

After the inception of the bank in 1996, Dutch-Bangla Bank has established itself as a unique organization engaged in the social cause through participating in various social welfare activities for the betterment of the nation. As in the past this year also Dutch-Bangla Bank has come forward to stand by the cold-hit people of the country for distribution of blankets among the poor. Poor people particularly in the northern region of the country have been the worst sufferers in the chilling cold and they can not buy warm clothes due to financial hardships.

The Honourable Minister lauded the role of Dutch-Bangla Bank for extending its helping hands to mitigate the sufferings of the fellow countrymen. He added that this donation is very timely and would inspire others to stand by the side of the cold-hit people of the country.
