In a remarkable humanitarian initiative aimed at easing the long-standing shortage of safe drinking water in the Modati area of Kaliganj Upazila, Lalmonirhat District, Bangladesh-based charity organization MASTUL Foundation has distributed 100 tube wells among underprivileged families.
The tube wells were officially handed over during a colorful ceremony held on 19 May at the grounds of Chamta Dimukhi High School in Kaliganj Upazila. For years, residents of this region in Lalmonirhat have suffered from severe water scarcity and lack of access to clean drinking water, resulting in various health risks and hardships in daily life.
Through this initiative, more than a hundred families are expected to gain access to safe and reliable drinking water, significantly improving their quality of life.
The event was attended by several distinguished guests, including local Member of Parliament Rokon Uddin Babul as the chief guest. Special guests included Kaliganj Upazila (UNO) Shamima Akter Jahan, Assistant Commissioner and Executive Magistrate Mamun-ur-Rashid from the Lalmonirhat District Administration, and Deputy Assistant Director Md. Rafi from the Department of Public Health Engineering.
Speaking at the event, MP Rokon Uddin Babul said: “The shortage of safe drinking water has long been a major challenge in this remote northern region. MASTUL Foundation has stepped forward after understanding the suffering of marginalised communities, which is highly commendable. These 100 tube wells will play an important role in improving the health and living standards of local residents.”
Upazila Nirbahi Officer Shamima Akter Jahan also praised the humanitarian efforts of MASTUL Foundation and called on more government and non-government organisations to come forward and contribute to the development of Lalmonirhat in the future.
Representatives from MASTUL Foundation stated that the organisation remains committed to supporting people deprived of safe drinking water and other basic rights across the country. They expressed hope that this project in Lalmonirhat will bring positive change to hundreds of lives and affirmed that the foundation will continue its social welfare activities in the region in the future.
