Popular Bangladeshi actor and founder of the 'Nirapad Sarak Chai' (We Demand Safe Roads) movement, Ilias Kanchan, is currently receiving treatment in London for a brain tumor. He has been ill for the past seven months and under medical care in London for about six months. Doctors have described his condition as complex since the tumor is located near vital nerves in the brain, making surgery highly risky. According to Liton Ershad, vice-chairman of the movement, Kanchan can now speak normally, a significant improvement from earlier difficulties. A large portion of the tumor has already been removed, and the remaining part is being treated through radiation and chemotherapy. He is staying at his daughter Israt Jahan’s residence during treatment. Once his current medication course ends, doctors will conduct further tests to determine the next steps and assess whether he can return to Bangladesh soon.
