The family members of Faisal Khan Shuvo, a youth who died following a raid of Detective Branch (DB) of police in Mymensingh, have claimed that his death was a ‘planned murder’.
The Paranganj 20-bed hospital, built to serve the healthcare needs of over a million people in the remote char (riverine) areas of three upazilas in Mymensingh, has failed to fully function even after 22 years of its establishment. Due to a lack of a standard staffing structure and absence of necessary medical equipment, the hospital exists only in name. Local residents continue to suffer due to the unavailability of proper medical services.
