Abu Saeed, a visually impaired son of Delwar Hossain of Chaktah village in Kola union of the upazila. Abu Saeed, who is visually impaired, used to make a living by driving a van. Day by day when his eyesight deteriorated, he stopped driving the van. Five months ago, he tried to trade a few kilograms of potatoes and some vegetables in a small range at the Chak-Taher passenger camp on Akkelpur Road.
His wife Selina and 10-year-old son Abdullah helped him in this work. But due to financial hardship, he could not pick up more goods in the shop. A few days ago, the matter came to UNO’s notice.
He then promised Abu Saeed further development of the business and helped him to set up a new vegetable shop.
