Grenade attack survivors meet Hasina

Hasina consoled them and assured them of taking steps for their treatment. This is for the first time after the mayhem that the injured party workers -- male and female -- came to meet her yesterday.

The Awami League chief, who also survived the assassination bid, told them that their sacrifice would not go in vain. "Time is not far off when the dawn will come ending the dark era," she said.
