Mobile operator Banglalink has been deploying volunteers for rendering supports with free buses, luggage handling services, prayer mat delivery for passengers who are returning home during the Eid holidays. This information was learnt in a press release sent to the media on Saturday.
It is informed that this initiative has been taken to strengthen the 4G network facilities as well as to make it easier and more pleasant for common people to return to their loved ones as part of social responsibility.
Among the initiatives, Banglalink is going to provide free bus service from Dhaka to the northern part of the country to help the underprivileged people to return home during Eid.
