Xiaomi Bangladesh has launched an initiative to distribute umbrellas to officers stationed across the country in a show of support for traffic police nationwide. This gesture aims to provide some comfort to the officers who tirelessly manage the bustling streets, often exposed to the sun and rain for extended periods. Xiaomi’s initiative acknowledges the vital service these officers provide and aims to show solidarity.

The umbrella giveaway event began on 13th August 2024 in the afternoon across multiple key traffic intersections in Dhaka, such as, Gulshan-1 circle, Gulshan-2 circle and Banani 11, with key participation from Xiaomi Bangladesh.

A total of 800 umbrellas will be distributed to the traffic police officers stationed across major cities, in front of shopping malls, mobile markets and key traffic signals in Dhaka, Chittagong, Khulna, Barisal, Mymensingh, Sylhet and North Bengal. This initiative is part of Xiaomi’s ongoing commitment to community engagement and social responsibility.

In this regard, Country Manager of Xiaomi Bangladesh, Mr. Ziauddin Chowdhury said, “At Xiaomi, we deeply value giving back to the community and supporting those who tirelessly serve the public. This umbrella giveaway is our way of expressing solidarity with the officers and students who are doing traffic duty day and night to ensure the safety and order of our country every day.”
