Stand beside the casualty family: the leader of the party workers

Referring to the crash of the US Airbus Airliner's aircraft in Nepal, it is very unfortunate that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina called upon the casualties to face the families of the casualties of her party workers.

He said that in the meanwhile, I have ordered the leaders and workers of our party to contact the families of the casualties in the plane crash and told them to convey our condolences to them. We are trying to help them.

Awami League President Sheikh Hasina was speaking at a joint meeting of Presidium, Advisory Council and Central Executive Committee and Organizations of the Prime Minister's Ganobhaban this evening.

He said Awami League activists will be informed about the current situation of the families of the casualties in the plane crash and the party will find a way to help them.

The Prime Minister said about 51 people, including Bangladesh, Nepal, China and the Maldivian civilians, were killed in the accident, which is very sad.

Two officials of the planning ministry, some students of a private medical college in Sylhet and a member of the Center for Research and Information (CRI) team have died in the plane crash, the Prime Minister said in emotionally, "Some flowers have dried up before the storm."

Referring to the government tour in Singapore, he said, "I have spoken to the Prime Minister of Singapore immediately after the incident."

Pointing out that Bangladesh is sending a medical team for the better treatment of the injured, she said, we are sending another team to collect DNA samples to identify the casualties. After the accident Nepal authorities started rapid rescue operations.

Hasina said earlier today, the government announced a one-day state mourning on Thursday in memory of the casualties in Kathmandu. The national flag will be kept half-way on Thursday.

The Prime Minister said apart from this, special prayers will be made in all religious institutions and mosques, temples, churches, pagodas including all religious places throughout the country on Friday.
