Dhaka – The chief of Bangladesh’s interim administration Muhammad Yunus has visited the critically wounded persons of the student-mass upsurge at the National Institute of Neurosciences and Hospital in Dhaka, the Chief Adviser’s office said on Saturday.
Yunus, who assumed office on August 8 after the ouster of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina in the face of violent protests, enquired about their health of the injured persons at the hospital.
"He (Prof Yunus) saw the conditions of four students who were being treated in the Intensive Care Unit of the hospital," Kazi Deen Mohammad, a director of the health facility, was quoted to have said by the CA’s press office in a statement.
Four students undergoing treatment at the hospital were hit by bullets in their heads. Their conditions are now improving, added the physician.
The chief adviser also enquired about the conditions of the other people who were critically injured by the security forces during the student-led revolution in July-August.
At least eleven people, including eight students from universities and colleges, have been treated at the hospital.
More than 600 people were killed and numerous others were injured during the month-long violent protests before and after the ouster of the former prime minister.
Badrul Alam, the joint director of the institute, and its senior physicians accompanied the chief adviser, the press statement said.
