In a gesture of compassion and solidarity, Mr. TSG Bhasker, Chairman of TSG Charitable Foundation, extended a helping hand to shopkeepers who suffered devastating losses in a recent fire accident at Rangat Bazaar. The philanthropic endeavor aimed to facilitate the swift rehabilitation of affected families grappling with the aftermath of the tragic incident.

Personally visiting the site of the fire, Mr. TSG Bhasker meticulously assessed the extent of the damage inflicted upon the bustling marketplace. Bearing witness to the charred remains of once-vibrant shops, he resolved to offer vital financial assistance to approximately 50 victimised shopkeepers, whose livelihoods were abruptly upended by the calamity. In a heartening display of empathy, he earnestly motivated the distraught individuals to summon resilience in the face of adversity, urging them to forge ahead despite the daunting challenges that lay ahead.

Drawing from his own personal experience of triumphing over adversity, Mr. TSG Bhasker recounted the harrowing ordeal of rebuilding his own business in the aftermath of a fire accident that ravaged his enterprise in Babuline several years ago. His poignant narrative served as a beacon of hope, resonating deeply with those grappling with the profound loss and uncertainty wrought by the recent tragedy.

Joining hands in solidarity with the TSG Charitable Foundation, a cadre of dedicated individuals including ANTCC President Mr. Rangalal Halder, Councillor of Ward No. 14 Mr. Y. Joga Rao, Social Worker Mr. Sebastian Tirkey, and Programme Coordinator of TSG Foundation Mr. Ameer Bux, stood shoulder to shoulder with Mr. TSG Bhasker in this noble endeavour. Their collective efforts underscored the power of community-driven initiatives in fostering resilience and renewal in the wake of adversity.
