BRAC to help Pirganj Hindu families rebuild their houses

The Hindu families in Pirganj of Rangpur will get assistance from non-government organisation BRAC to rebuild their houses torched on Sunday night by a group of miscreants over a Facebook post.

The development organisation will also buy cattle for the families who lost those during the violence. BRAC executive director Asif Saleh came up with this announcement in a Facebook post on Tuesday.

Speaking to Prothom Alo, Asif Saleh said, “A team from BRAC on Monday visited the affected village of Pirganj to calculate the amount of losses. Following the visit, we have taken some decisions.”

He said a list of 25 affected families has been made. BRAC will help them to rebuild their houses and buy cattle for the families who lost those during violence.

The development organisation will also arrange psychological counseling service for the traumatised people, Saleh added.
