CRP’s first lift installed bus for wheelchair users.

International Committee for the Red Cross (ICRC) donated a lift to install in a bus to make it accessible for the wheelchair users. CRP received the lift on September, 201, they explored the market to find the engineers to install and get it operational. It was very difficult to find someone who could do this work, but finally Faruk Automobiles and workshop from Savar were commissioned do to the work, and after various missing parts were imported from China, it was soon up and running.
In February 2017, the bus was sent to Navana Limited for assembling and installing the lift. The bus was ready after three and a half months mechanical work on it. Finally CRP received their bus on 16th May, 2017 and CRP’s Executive Director Md. Shafiq-ul Islam inaugurated the first bus with the modern amenity in CRP. The wheelchair users will be able to ride on this bus independently which will also save time and decrease the difficulties of the carers.
