Famous folk singer Farida Parveen has passed away. She passed away at 10:15 pm on Saturday. (Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi rajiun).

The news was confirmed by Ashish Kumar Chakraborty, Managing Director of Universal Medical College Hospital. She was 71 years old. She is survived by her husband and four children.

Farida Parveen had been suffering from kidney complications for a long time. For some time, the situation had reached such a point that she had to undergo dialysis twice a week. She was taken to Universal Medical College Hospital in Mohakhali on September 2 as part of regular dialysis. But her physical condition deteriorated after dialysis.

Then the doctor advised her to be admitted to the hospital. Since then, she has been undergoing treatment in the hospital's ICU. When her condition deteriorated last Wednesday, it was decided to keep her on ventilation.

Finally, after all the doctors' efforts failed, she left for the land of no return.
