The incident took place at the Saudi Arabian Airlines office at the Sonargaon Hotel in the Karwaran Bazar area on Sunday.
After the beating, protesters blocked the road in Karwan Bazaar for about an hour and a half. As a result, traffic was stopped and pedestrians, including passengers, suffered.
Despite the hardships of Saudi expats who returned to the country during the epidemic, the embarrassment of getting tickets due to the large number of passengers has not yet ended.
The complications of returning to Saudi Arabia were cut short
Expats have been crowding in front of the Sonargaon Hotel since early morning to get tickets from Saudi Arabian Airlines.
Witnesses said that after waiting a long time for the airline ticket before the ticket, the security staff at the Sonargaon Hotel closed the door when expats wanted to enter. The restless expats began to protest. At one point they broke down the hotel door.
Some people were injured when the police used batons to control the situation.
At around 1.30 pm, protesters blocked the Sark Foyer. When the police removed them around 3:30 pm, traffic normalized.
The protesters allege that Saudi Arabian Airlines is unnecessarily late in issuing tickets. This has raised concerns about her timely arrival in Saudi Arabia.
Solaiman Chowdhury, who was at the protest, told bdnews24.com, “Saudi Airlines has reported that they will deliver tokens starting at 10 am. Consequently, we are here from 9 o’clock. But we were not allowed to enter the gate. .
“I have to get back to work before October 11. Now if I don’t get a ticket today, how can I go? Extreme chaos is here.”
The protesters said ticketing was stopped for about an hour due to mismanagement.
Mymensingh’s Apple said: “I’ve been waiting here since 3pm. I couldn’t sleep all night, a mosquito bit me. But there were no gains, there was no entry token.
“I don’t know when I’ll get it. What is our path in this situation?”

Saif Uddin, a Barisal resident, said: “Saudi Airlines gathered thousands of people to give tokens, what did they give by waiting day and night?
“The police come here and take everyone’s name, phone number and visa. These are being taken to get people off the road, the benefit will be zero. Because there is no way of knowing who wrote correctly and who wrote correctly “.
Saudi Airlines officials say expats are putting so much pressure on them that it is disrupting their work.
“Everyone should understand the issue of the ticketing system. You have to allow time for this. You have to wait. If it is done like this, tickets will not be given,” said an official.
Omar Khayyam, Saudi Arabian Airlines sales manager, said: “Thousands of people were suddenly gathered here. It was completely unpleasant and beyond our comprehension.
“Since noon, we have been trying to collect their names, numbers and visas. So that those whose visas expire earlier can receive priority tickets.”
Saudi Airlines officials have asked expats to be patient, claiming they are trying to quickly issue tickets.
