A five-year-old boy who went missing at Kurmitola General Hospital in Dhaka was safely reunited with his parents through the efforts of an Ansar member on Saturday.
The child, identified as Alamgir, had come to the hospital with his family from Narayanganj. He became separated from his parents while in the hospital’s outpatient department and was later found wandering alone and frightened.
Duty-bound Ansar member Md Saiful Islam took the child into his care and kept him safe while efforts were made to locate his parents.
After a prolonged search and verification in the presence of hospital authorities, Alamgir was safely handed over to his parents.
The child’s parents became emotional after being reunited with their son and expressed their gratitude to the Ansar members. The incident highlights the vigilance, responsibility and humanitarian role of Ansar personnel in ensuring safety and assisting people in times of distress.
