A human chain was formed in Kapilmuni, Paikgachha Upazila of Khulna to protest against the non-granting of 10 percent discount by drug dealers. On Thursday morning, October 1, people from different walks of life participated in the human chain program organized by Kapilmuni Blood Bank on the main road of Kapilmuni Bazar.

‎The event was addressed by journalist HM Shafiul Islam, Upazila President of Nirapar Sarak Chai, Upazila Human Rights Journalist Forum Convener and Blood Bank Advisor Sheikh Sekender Ali. The event was chaired by Kapilmuni Blood Bank President Sheikh Abdur Razzak Raj and moderated by Kapilmuni Blood Bank General Secretary Ashanur Islam Roni. Other speakers included former Kapilmuni Ward BNP President Majid Gazi, prominent businessman Sattar Gazi, Ruhul Amin Fakir, Jubo Dal leader Raihan Gazi, Ataur Rahman Kapilmuni Blood Bank Executive Secretary Jalil Biswas, and sound businessman Imran Gazi.

The speakers said that all over the country, drug dealers give 10 to 12 percent discounts considering the people. It was also going on in Kapilmuni. But since the elected government in the country, all the dealers have come together and stopped giving that 10 percent discount. The speakers also said that people from all walks of life in the country buy medicines for some or the other of their families. Therefore, like in different parts of the country, they demanded a 10 percent discount from drug dealers in Kapilmuni. The speakers said that if drug dealers do not respond to humanitarian work, then we will warn of a big movement in the future. People from all walks of life in Kapilmuni, Haridhali and Lata participated in the human chain.
