The former coordinator of Anti-Discrimination Student Movement and the general secretary of the July Shaheed Smriti Foundation has stated that 200 financial assistance will be provided to 200 families of martyrs every week.
He made this remark on Friday at a press conference. According to him, the July Shaheed Smriti Foundation will start providing financial assistance from Saturday.
On that day, checks will be handed over in four segments. Assistance will be provided to martyr families across all eight divisions. However, at the beginning, the focus will be on the Dhaka division.
He also noted that calls are being made from various fake numbers, which are not associated with them. Calls are being made from the number 16000 to the families. He assured that they are meticulously documenting the financial transactions.
“Unofficially, 24,000 injured individuals and more than 1,600 deceased have been listed. We are verifying these numbers continuously. The foundation will also work on the rehabilitation of the injured. The verification process is expected to be completed by November and by December, everyone will receive financial assistance,” said Sarjis
He also said that each family of the martyr will initially receive Tk 500,000, while each family with a injured member due to the movement will receive Tk 100,000.
