BANGLADESH communities throughout East Lancashire were offering prayers in mosques today after a devastating cyclone claimed up to 50,000 lives.
Leaders of Burnley's 2,000-strong Bangladesh community were seeking details of the cyclone.
And community leaders were to meet to discuss what help local groups could offer their country. They raised £2,000 for victims of a similar cyclone five years earlier.
