The operator said its responsibility extended beyond expanding connectivity services to supporting communities in difficult circumstances and creating meaningful social impact.
Banglalink Chief Marketing Officer Kazi Mahboob Hassan said, "We often talk about putting people first, and this is what that looks like in practice.
"These workers keep our cities moving, often under the harshest conditions. A raincoat may seem like a small gesture, but it reflects our deep appreciation for their hard work and our commitment to their well-being."
