Huawei, BTCL donate relief to flood-affected people of Netrokona

Huawei Technologies (Bangladesh) Limited and BTCL formed a partnership to aid the flood victims of Mohanganj upazila of Netrokona.

With this initiative, over one thousand bags of relief items were handed over to BTCL by Huawei at the BTCL office on July 3, said a statement.

In the recent flood, the situation has been very devastating in the Netrokona district. Around 600,000 people have been marooned in six upazilas, while another 16,000 took refuge at different shelters. Kalmakanda, Durgapur, Mohanganj, Madan, and Khaliajuri were hit hard by the disaster.

Realising the challenges of the inhabitants of this area, leading global ICT infrastructure providers with localised vision decided to stand beside them through this initiative. Taoguangyao, Chief Operating Officer of Huawei Technologies (Bangladesh) Limited, handed over to Md Rafiqul Matin, Managing Director of BTCL, at a symbolic handover event today in the presence of Mustafa Jabbar, Minister of the Posts and Telecommunications Division and Md Khalilur Rahman, Secretary, Posts and Telecommunications Division.

At the event, Mustafa Jabbar, Minister of the Posts and Telecommunications Division, said, “Our country has been going through an extremely harsh and challenging period due to the horrible flood situation. It is our responsibility to stand by each other during this difficult time. I am very happy to witness Huawei and BTCL coming forward in support of those affected by this devastating flood.”

Taoguangyao, COO, Huawei Technologies (Bangladesh) Limited, said, “Huawei has always made sure to be there for people in times of need. This time, yet again, we have come together with BTCL to provide support to the distressed people. We hope that the relief items will help those affected by the flood. Huawei will continue to be there in support of the people of Bangladesh in every way possible.”
