They say they will lose their jobs if they don’t go to Saudi Arabia this month. That is why it is important to make immediate arrangements for your departure.
Bangladesh’s state airline has yet to resume flights to Saudi Arabia due to a coronavirus epidemic.
In response, the Civil Aviation Authority on Sunday revoked Saudi Arabian Airlines’ permission to operate flights from Dhaka.
Caught in a tug of war between the two sides, Saudi immigrants held a protest in front of Biman’s office in Motijheel and the Saudi Arabian Airlines office in Karwan Bazar on Monday.
Thousands of people marched in front of the Saudi Arabian Airlines office in front of the Sonargaon Hotel in Karwan Bazar on Tuesday.
Zahirul Alam, a worker who participated in the protest, said: “I have to get to Jeddah by September 30. Otherwise, there will be no work. I also have a return ticket. But now Saudi Airlines says it will not be able to issue tickets within this time. What will happen to me then?
M Abdullah, another expatriate worker, said: “Despite having a return ticket, they are accepting more money. Ticket prices are rising to 90/95 lakhs. “
Rahim Uddin, who works in Riyadh, said: “I came to the country last March. I will go back to work now. I’ve been looking for a ticket for the last three days, but I can’t get it. He says the flight won’t be this month. But I have to go to Riyadh on the 29th. “
Expatriate workers await the government’s initiative to solve this problem quickly.
“The government should talk to the Saudi government quickly and resolve the problem. Otherwise, we will die,” Rahim said.
They blocked the road in front of the hotel from 10 in the morning until 12 noon. As a result, traffic was disrupted.
They later left the road after police assured Saudi Airlines officials that the crisis would be resolved.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Civil Aviation and Tourism has written to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to discuss with the Saudi authorities the extension of the Saudi expatriate visa.
