Mohammad Zahidul Islam Mian, Deputy Commissioner of Narayanganj--widely known as a “Humanitarian DC” handed over his charge to Additional DC on Sunday leaving a number of examples of humanity.
He handed the charge to Additional DC (General) Alamgir Hossain through an official farewell that was participated, among others, by political leaders, socio-cultural activists.
Immediate before his departure, Zahidul Islam left behind yet another example of humanity by gifting an electronic wheelchair a physically challenged poet named Imran Ahmed (46) of Salehnagar in Narayanganj city.
Upon receiving the wheelchair, poet Imran reacted emotionally:
“The words ‘Man is for man, life is for life’ became a reality in my life today.”
The wheelchair is not just a chair—it is a new horizon of hope, strength, courage, and light in my life.”
DC Zahidul Islam joined as Chattogram Deputy Commissioner on Monday.
He became a trusted figure for families of those killed and injured in the anti-discrimination movement, visually impaired students, poor people, helpless children, prisoners, and critically ill patients.
His “Green and Clean Narayanganj” program and long-term initiatives to improve secondary education became widely appreciated and are expected to benefit the district for years.
He helped launch the newborn ICU at the hospital, provided wheelchairs to Khanpur Hospital, delivered modern CBC and ECG machines to Victoria Hospital, and supported football academy children with balls, boots, and tournament funding—his development work was equally significant.
He ensured a dignified funeral by delivering the body of Pinky—held for unpaid hospital bills of Tk 1.73 lakh—to her family after 14 hours of effort.
He also provided financial assistance and capital to centenarian hawker Fazilatunnesa.
Born in October 1979 in Bhuapur, Tangail, he grew up in a freedom fighter family.
