POBNEWS24, Dhaka, Apr 10, 2022 : Passengers get off the plane and stand in line in front of the immigration counter. However, no one was seen in front of any counter. Passengers are suffering during Iftar. At this time the counter is closed for half an hour to one hour.
On Saturday evening, passengers on two flights were seen waiting in line for an immigration officer.
Some of the elderly passengers could not stand and sat on the floor. As there was no food in the area, none of them could break their fast.
Passengers say that by keeping all the counters closed, the passengers are being made to suffer. The counter should be kept active even if in limited size. If that is not possible, passengers will have to arrange seating and iftar.
Shahjahan Mia came from India. “Immigration is nowhere near zero,” he said. Service can be provided even with less counters. We had to stand continuously for 30-40 minutes. ‘
Shahjalal called the Special Superintendent of Police in charge of immigration to know about this, but there was no response.
The newly appointed executive director of the airport, Group Captain Mohammad Kamrul Islam, said the matter had come to our notice. I will try to solve it by talking to the concerned people.
