Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has donated Tk 10 lakh for better treatment of Dhali Al Mamun, a professor at the Institute of Fine Arts of Chittagong University.
Prime Minister's assignment officer Manoj Kanti Boral handed over the cheque to Mamun's wife Dilara Zaman Jolly at the hospital, reports UNB.
Dhali Al Mamun, injured in Saturday's car crash that killed filmmaker Tareque Masud, broadcast journalist Ashfaque Mishuk Munier and three others, will be taken to Bangkok for treatment today at 3:00pm.
Condition of the eminent painter has remained unchanged, said physician Syed Iftekher who is a relative of Mamun.
He has been bleeding from the injuries to his lungs and a tube has been inserted there Monday night to drain out the blood, Iftekher said.
Two out of nine broken ribs of Mamun punctured his lungs. The 50-year-old is diabetic and suffers from hypertension.
He was left with serious injuries to his chest and shoulder in Saturday's crash that killed five.
Internationally renowned filmmaker Tareque Masud and eminent media personality Ashfaque Mishuk Munier were among the five who were killed in the road accident that occurred on Dhaka-Aricha highway on August 13.
Meanwhile, Saidul Islam, the other survivor of the microbus-bus head-on collision, was discharged from Square Hospital yesterday.
Three other survivors of the accident were Catherine Masud, wife of filmmaker Tareque, Dilara Zaman Jolly, and Monis Rafique, assistant director of Tareque's film "Kagojer Phool".
