But despite his serious illness, he has not forgotten about the sufferings of the poor and underprivileged people in Chandpur Sadar who eagerly wait for a piece of beef on the occasion of Eid-ul Azha. For providing them beef, he has bought 23 bulls ahead of holy Eid day and sacrificed them all in the name of Allah for the poor and distressed people.
On Eid day, he has sacrificed eight bulls and beef -packs were given to thousands of poor people at the char lands at Raj Rajeswar union (where his ancestral home is located) – a remote char and river eroded areas under Chandpur Sadar, 10 bulls for the poor people, residing around his old residence on Mukherji Ghat Road in Chandpur town and five bulls for the poor and rootless people in Torpurchondi, Anandabazar and Purondopur villages in Chandpur Sadar Upazila.
