Nazma Akter Ruma, the mother of 6-year-old Naira Hannan Tahira, has thanked the mayor for this ‘unexpected’ help.
 
The accident occurred when Tahira was on her way to school at Jamalkhan with her mother around 11:15am on Monday.  
 

The mayor’s personal aide Raihan Yusuf said the mayor was going towards Kapasgola when a white car hit the child and her mother.
“The mayor called the police officials in the protocol car and ordered them to take the mother and the child to the Chittagong Medical College Hospital,” he said.
“The mayor said ‘more than my security, the child needs treatment’,” Yusuf said.
Ruma said Tahira had injuries on her forehead, hands, lips and legs. “I was also injured. The doctors gave us first aid and medicines,” she said.
Yusus said Mayor Uddin asked him to enquire about the child’s health later.
“She is well now,” he said.
