Bravery of Jasim

We have experienced a devastating fire and huge loss of lives in the Banani inferno. Many selfless people extended their helping hands during the massive fire. Some people helped the fire fighters by pulling the pipes and rescuing the injured people.

It is unfortunate that many of the enthusiastic onlookers thronged to the site blocking passages and keeping themselves busy by taking selfies and videos.

As people were trapped inside the FR Tower and were rushing for their lives, in that very moment a 'superman', Jasim by name, appeared on the scene risking his life and rescued lives of some people who were recklessly coming down climbing walls of the building. Jasim went to the 7th floor without any tool but with his bare hands rescued a woman trapped there.

For his bravery, five people came out from the disaster unharmed and safe.

In this age, selfless and brave people like Jasim are hardly found. He must be recognised for his bravery and humanity.
